Abstract

CT reconstruction requires an accurate physical model. Mismatches between model and data represent unmodeled biases and can induce artifacts and systematic quantitation errors. Bias effects are dependent on bias structure and data processing (e.g. model-based iterative reconstruction versus filtered-backprojection). In this work, we illustrate this sensitivity and develop a strategy to estimate unmodeled biases for situations where the underlying source is unknown or difficult to estimate directly. We develop a CNN framework for projection-domain de-biasing using a ResUNet architecture and spatial-frequency loss function. We demonstrate a reduction in reconstruction errors across bias conditions and reconstruction methods.
