Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a spatially-variant model of a point spread function and its role in enhancing medical image resolution. For instance, a method of the present disclosure comprises receiving a first medical image having a first resolution, applying a neural network to the first medical image, the neural network including a first subset of layers and, subsequently, a second subset of layers, the first subset of layers of the neural network generating, from the first medical image, a second medical image having a second resolution and the second subset of layers of the neural network generating, from the second medical image, a third medical image having a third resolution, and outputting the third medical image, wherein the first resolution is lower than the second resolution and the second resolution is lower than the third resolution.
