Abstract
A low-dose imaging method includes receiving a sparse image set of a portion of a patient's anatomy; up-sampling the sparse image set, in the sinogram domain and using a first neural network, to yield an up-sampled sinogram; generating, from the up-sampled sinogram, an initial reconstruction; and removing, from the initial reconstruction and using a second neural network, one or more artifacts in the initial reconstruction to yield a final output volume.
