    Abstract: The present approach relates to the use of machine learning and deep learning systems suitable for solving large-scale, space-variant tomographic reconstruction and/or correction problems. In certain embodiments, a tomographic transform of measured data obtained from a tomography scanner is used as an input to a neural network. In accordance with certain aspects of the present approach, the tomographic transform operation(s) is performed separate from or outside the neural network such that the result of the tomographic transform operation is instead provided as an input to the neural network. In addition, in certain embodiments, one or more layers of the neural network may be provided as wavelet filter banks.

    Abstract: An imaging method includes executing a low-dose preparatory scan to an object by applying tube voltages and tube currents in an x-ray source, and generating a first image of the object corresponding to the low-dose preparatory scan. The method further includes generating image quality estimates and dose estimates view by view at least based on the first image. The method includes optimizing the tube voltages and the tube currents to generate optimal profiles for the tube voltage and the tube current. At least one of the optimal profiles for the tube voltage and the tube current is generated based on the image quality estimates and dose estimates. The method includes executing an acquisition scan by applying the tube voltages and the tube currents based on the optimal profiles and generating a second image of the object corresponding to the acquisition scan. An imaging system is also provided.

    Abstract: A method for imaging an object to be reconstructed includes acquiring projection data corresponding to the object. Furthermore, the method includes generating a measured sinogram based on the acquired projection data and formulating a forward model, where the forward model is representative of a characteristic of the imaging system. In addition, the method includes generating an estimated sinogram based on an estimated image of the object and the forward model and formulating a statistical model based on at least one of pile-up characteristics and dead time characteristics of a detector of the imaging system. Moreover, the method includes determining an update corresponding to the estimated image based on the statistical model, the measured sinogram, and the estimated sinogram and updating the estimated image based on the determined update to generate an updated image of the object. Additionally, the method includes outputting a final image of the object.
