    Abstract: An image processing system (IPS) and related method for supporting tomographic imaging. The system comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving, for a given projection direction (pi), a plurality of input projection images at different phase steps acquired by a tomographic X-ray imaging apparatus configured for dark-field and/or phase-contrast imaging. A machine learning component (MLC) processes the said plurality into output projection imagery that includes a dark-field projection image and/or a phase contrast projection image for the said given projection direction.

    Abstract: A method is provided for processing images comprising retrieving measured data for a first image. The method then generates partially filtered data by applying a first filter to the measured data. The first filter is a generic filter. The method then reconstructs the partially filtered data to generate a partially filtered image. The method then generates a partially processed image by applying a first processing routine to the partially filtered image. The method then generates a filtered image by applying a second filter to the partially processed image, where the second filter is a filter selected from a plurality of potential secondary filters. The method then outputs the filtered image. Systems are provided for implementing the claimed method and training methods for neural networks used in the method are provided as well.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a spectral X-ray CT imaging system (10), comprising: a spectral X-ray CT imaging unit (20); a processing unit (30); and an output unit (40). The spectral X-ray CT imaging unit comprises an X-ray tube (22) and a dual layer X-ray detector (24), and wherein a body portion of a subject to be examiner can be located between the X-ray tube and the dual layer X-ray detector. The spectral X-ray CT imaging unit is configured to acquire an overall scan of the body portion comprising a plurality of acquisitions at different projections angles. The processing unit is configured to utilize information on the body portion for each projection of the different projections angles. The processing unit is configured to determine a voltage for the X-ray tube for each acquisition of the plurality of acquisitions, wherein the determination for each acquisition comprises utilization of the corresponding information on the body portion for the projection associated with that acquisition. The processing unit is configured to control the spectral X-ray CT imaging unit to carry out an implemented overall scan of the body portion, wherein the control comprises controlling the X-ray tube to operate at the determined X-ray tube voltage for each acquisition of the plurality of acquisitions at the different projections angles. The processing unit is configured to receive data from the dual layer X-ray detector for each acquisition of the implemented overall scan. The processing unit is configured to implement a machine learning algorithm to determine material decomposition imagery of the body portion, wherein the determination comprises utilization of the data from the dual layer X-ray detector for each acquisition of the implemented overall scan and the determined X-ray tube voltage for each acquisition of the implemented overall scan. The output unit is configured to output the material decomposition imagery of the body portion.

    Abstract: A method is provided for processing medical images, the method including receiving a first image and a second image different from the first image, where the second image is of the same subject matter as the first image. The method further includes identifying a plurality of anatomical structures in the first image and defining a plurality of image segments in the second image based N on locations of the anatomical structures identified in the first image. The method then applies a processing routine associated with a first anatomical structure to the first image segment in the second image and a processing routine associated with a second anatomical structure to the second image segment in the second image. Also provided is an imaging system for implementing the described method and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for processing medical images.
