Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sparse-view CT image reconstruction problems encountered in dynamic CT acquisitions are technically challenging. Recently, many deep learning strategies have been proposed to reconstruct CT images from sparse-view angle acquisitions showing promising results. However, two fundamental problems with these deep learning reconstruction methods remain to be addressed: (1) limited reconstruction accuracy for individual patients and (2) limited generalizability for patient statistical cohorts.
