PURPOSE: The purpose of the challenge is to find the deep-learning (DL) technique for sparse-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction that can yield the minimum root mean square error (RMSE) under ideal conditions, thereby addressing the qu...
Although deep learning for application in positron emission tomography (PET) image reconstruction has attracted the attention of researchers, the image quality must be further improved. In this study, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (...
Spoke trajectory parallel transmit (pTX) excitation in ultra-high field MRI enables B inhomogeneities arising from the shortened RF wavelength in biological tissue to be mitigated. To this end, current RF excitation pulse design algorithms either emp...
PURPOSE: To assess the effects of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR) on the image quality of virtual monochromatic spectral (VMS) images and to investigate the dose reduction potential of the VMS and c...

PURPOSE: The present study aims to evaluate TTFs of deep-learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) and iterative reconstruction (IR) in computed tomography (CT) using a conventional task with a rod object with a diameter of 30 mm and a newly-propose...
X-ray imaging is a widely used approach to view the internal structure of a subject for clinical diagnosis, image-guided interventions and decision-making. The X-ray projections acquired at different view angles provide complementary information of p...
Magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) is a rapidly developing approach for fast quantitative MRI. A typical drawback of dictionary-based MRF is an explosion of the dictionary size as a function of the number of reconstructed parameters, according t...
PURPOSE: Deep learning (DL) is rapidly finding applications in low-dose CT image denoising. While having the potential to improve the image quality (IQ) over the filtered back projection method (FBP) and produce images quickly, performance generaliza...
PURPOSE: Quantitative MRI (qMRI) is of great importance to clinical medicine and scientific research. However, most qMRI techniques are time-consuming and sensitive to motion, especially when a large 3D volume is imaged. To accelerate the acquisition...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the image quality and clinical acceptance of a deep learning reconstruction (DLR) algorithm compared to traditional iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms.
