Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) is the most commonly used algorithm for four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) reconstruction due to its high speed. However, the image quality is worse than that of model-based iterative reconstruction (MIR). Different reconstruction methods affect the stability of radiomics features. Herein, we developed a deep learning method to improve the quality and radiomics reproducibility of the high-speed reconstruction.
