Abstract
A method of imaging includes obtaining a sequence of X-ray images including a first X-ray image and a second X-ray image, the first and second X-ray images being acquired sequentially using a first set of exposure parameters of an image scanning apparatus; inputting the first and second X-ray images into a trained first model to obtain a second set of exposure parameters, which is output from the trained first model; obtaining a third X-ray image acquired by the image scanning apparatus using the second set of exposure parameters; inputting at least the second X-ray image and the third X-ray image into a trained second model to obtain a restored X-ray third image, which is output from the trained second model; and outputting the restored X-ray third image, wherein the first model and the second model were trained together using a training sequence of images in a training process.
