Abstract
A method includes de-noising projection data from a lower dose scan in the projection domain, reconstructing the de-noised projection data to generate volumetric image data, and de-noising the volumetric image data in the image domain. A system includes a projection domain processor () that de-noises projection data from a lower dose scan, a reconstructor () that reconstructs the de-noised projection data and generates image data, and an image domain processor () that de-noises the image data such that a noise level of the de-noise image data is substantially the same as an estimated image data noise level of image data for a higher dose scan.
