Abstract
A general workflow for deep learning based image restoration in X-ray and fluoroscopy/fluorography is disclosed. Higher quality images and lower quality images are generated as training data. This training data can further be categorized by anatomical structure. This training data can be used to train a learned model, such as a neural network or deep-learning neural network. Once trained, the learned model can be used for real-time inferencing. The inferencing can be more further improved by employing a variety of techniques, including pruning the learned model, reducing the precision of the learned mode, utilizing multiple image restoration processors, or dividing a full size image into snippets.
