Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a deep learning-based digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) image reconstruction that mitigates limited angular artifacts and improves in-depth resolution of the resulting images. The systems and methods may reduce the sparse-view artifacts in DBT via deep learning without losing image sharpness and contrast. A deep neural network may be trained in a way to reduce training-time computational cost. An ROI loss method may be used for further improvement on the resolution and contrast of the images.
