METHOD FOR PROCESSING X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IMAGE USING NEURAL NETWORK AND APPARATUS THEREFOR

Abstract

A method for processing an X-ray computed tomography (CT) image using a neural network and an apparatus therefor are provided. An image reconstruction method includes receiving low-dose X-ray CT data, obtaining an initial reconstruction image for the received low-dose X-ray CT data using a predetermined analytic algorithm, and reconstructing a denoised final image using the obtained initial reconstruction image and a previously trained neural network.
