Abstract: An approach for denoising a medical image. A noise map, which defines an estimate of one or more statistical parameters for each pixel of the medical image, is used to modify or normalize the medical image. The modified medical image is then processed, using a machine-learning method, to produce a denoised medical image.

Abstract: A mechanism for generating denoised basis images for a computed tomography scanner. An input dataset, comprising first and second basis image data, is processed using a machine-learning algorithm process to produce the denoised basis images. The first and second basis image data each comprise at least one basis image, wherein the type of image differs between the first and second basis image data.

Abstract: A mechanism for generating a partially denoised image. A residual noise image, obtained by processing an image using a convolutional neural network, is weighted. The blending or combination of the weighted residual noise image and the (original) image generates the partially denoised image.

Abstract: A mechanism for generating denoised basis projection data. Low-energy projection data and high-energy projection data is processed using a neural network that is trained to perform the dual task of decomposition and denoising. The neural network thereby directly outputs basis projection data, taking the place of existing decomposition and denoising techniques.

Abstract: A system (CDD) and related method for facilitating an iterative reconstruction operation. In iterative reconstruction, imagery in image domain is reconstructed in plural steps from measured projection data in projection domain. The system and methods use a trained machine learning module (MLM). The system receives input correction data generated in the iterative reconstruction operation. The system predicts, based on the input correction data, output correction data. The output correction data is provided for facilitating correcting a current image, as reconstructed in a given step, into a new image.

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: 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.
