Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Advancements in computed tomography (CT) reconstruction have enabled image quality improvements and dose reductions. Previous advancements have included iterative and model-based reconstruction. The latest image reconstruction advancement uses deep learning, which has been evaluated for polychromatic imaging only. This article characterizes a commercially available deep learning imaging reconstruction applied to dual-energy CT.
