DBP DOMAIN DEEP LEARNING
Limitation of Classical DBP processing

- Specialized gridding operation is required for 1D Hilbert filtering

- Hard to know the exact DBP data for interior tomography
- Hilbert transform is sensitive to bias

CONCLUSION

- We proposed neural network to learn the mapping between

DBP data and artifact-free images

- We mixed the spectral components of the coronal and sagittal

reconstruction

- Experimental results confirmed that our method is more sta-

ble than neural network on image domain
