Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To directly compare coronary arterial stenosis evaluations by hybrid-type iterative reconstruction (IR), model-based IR (MBIR), deep learning reconstruction (DLR), and high-resolution deep learning reconstruction (HR-DLR) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in both in vitro and in vivo studies.
