Improved digital chest tomosynthesis image quality by use of a projection-based dual-energy virtual monochromatic convolutional neural network with super resolution.

We developed a novel dual-energy (DE) virtual monochromatic (VM) very-deep super-resolution (VDSR) method with an unsharp masking reconstruction algorithm (DE-VM-VDSR) that uses projection data to improve the nodule contrast and reduce ripple artifacts during chest digital tomosynthesis (DT). For es...
