Abstract
Systems and methods are described, which generate a plurality of virtual monochromatic X-ray images having different energy levels even with a CT system with single energy CT. An example CT system includes an X-ray tube in which a prescribed tube voltage (120 (kVp)) is applied and one or more processors. The one or more processors perform an operation including inputting a CT image generated based on the single energy CT data collected from a subject body to a trained neural network (), and causing the trained neural network to infer 40 (keV), 50 (keV), 60 (keV), 80 (keV), 90 (keV), and 100 (keV) virtual monochromatic X-ray images based on the CT image.
