Purpose:
To compare the image quality of CT obtained using a deep learning-based image reconstruction (DLIR) engine with images with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (AV).
Materials And Methods:
Using a phantom, the noise power spectrum (NPS) and task-based transfer function (TTF) were measured in images with different reconstructions (filtered back projection [FBP], AV30, 50, 100, DLIR-L, M, H) at multiple doses. One hundred and twenty abdominal CTs with 30% dose reduction were processed using AV30, AV50, DLIR-L, M, H. Objective and subjective analyses were performed.
Results:
The NPS peak of DLIR was lower than that of AV30 or AV50. Compared with AV30, the NPS average spatial frequencies were higher with DLIR-L or DLIR-M. For lower contrast objects, TTF in images with DLIR were higher than those with AV. The standard deviation in DLIR-H and DLIR-M was significantly lower than AV30 and AV50. The overall image quality was the best for DLIR-M (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
DLIR showed improved image quality and decreased noise under a decreased radiation dose.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
