Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for independently removing streak artifacts and noise from medical images, using trained deep neural networks. In one embodiment, streak artifacts and noise may be selectively and independently removed from a medical image by receiving the medical image comprising streak artifacts and noise, mapping the medical image to a streak residual and a noise residual using the trained deep neural network, subtracting the streak residual from the medical image to a first extent, and subtracting the noise residual from the medical image to a second extent, to produce a de-noised medical image, and displaying the de-noised medical image via a display device.
