Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) is a new reconstruction method for maintaining image quality at reduced radiation dose. The purpose of this study was to compare image quality of reduced-dose DLIR images with the standard-dose adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR-V) images in chest CT.
