Abstract
A spectral computed tomography imaging system () includes a radiation source () configured to emit x-ray radiation and a detector array () configured to detect x-ray radiation and generate spectral data. The spectral imaging system further includes a memory () configured to store a virtual non-contrast image enhancing module () that includes computer executable instructions including a neural network trained to produce image quality enhanced virtual non-contrast images. The neural network is trained with training spectral data and training non-contrast-enhanced images generated from a non-contrast-enhanced scan. The spectral imaging system further includes a processor () configured to process the spectral data with the trained neural network to produce the image quality enhanced virtual non-contrast images.
