Abstract

PURPOSE: To evaluate the image quality of ultra-high-resolution CT (U-HRCT) images reconstructed using an improved deep-learning-reconstruction (DLR) method. Additionally, we assessed the utility of U-HRCT in visualizing gastric wall structure, detecting gastric cancer, and determining the depth of invasion.
