Abstract
A system for single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is provided. The system includes a computer device comprises at least one processor in communication with at least one memory device. The at least one processor is programmed to: a) store a model trained to denoise computer tomography (CT) scans of a subject being examined; b) receive a CT scan of a first subject being examined; c) execute the model with the CT scan of the first subject as an input, wherein the model performs denoising on the CT scan while accounting for an observer loss function; and d) output a denoised-CT scan of the first subject.
