Abstract
Due to longitudinal undersampling multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) scans may suffer from windmill artifacts in reconstructed images. To fulfill the sampling condition and achieve double sampling in z-direction, some CT scanners use the z-flying focal spot (zFFS) technique, a hardware-based solution that effectively doubles the number of detector rows. To obtain a software-based solution we developed a convolutional neural network that is trained in a supervised manner with clinical projection raw data that were acquired with zFFS enabled. We presented this approach as the row interpolation with deep learning (RIDL) network. In this work we simplified the network architecture, extended the clinical dataset and generated an experimental synthetic dataset consisting of two-dimensional projection data. We were able to observe a reduction in windmill artifacts for both datasets used for training. Especially the synthetic dataset is very promising as we could observe a superior reduction of artifacts with this dataset.
