Published Date:

Abstract

PURPOSE: To compare the noise power spectrum (NPS) properties and perform a qualitative analysis of hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR), model-based IR (MBIR), and deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) at a similar noise level in clinical study and compare these outcomes with those in phantom study.
