Comparison of two versions of a deep learning image reconstruction algorithm on CT image quality and dose reduction: A phantom study

Abstract

As compared to AIDR 3De, lower noise magnitude and higher spatial resolution and detectability index were found with both versions of AiCE. As compared to AiCE V8, AiCE V10 reduced noise and improved spatial resolution and detectability without changing the noise texture in a simple geometric phantom, except for the Strong level. AiCE V10 seems to have a greater potential for dose reduction than AiCE V8.
