  • Patent number: 11699231
    Abstract: A method for establishing a 3D medical imaging model of a subject is to be implemented by an X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner and a processor. The method includes: emitting X-rays on the subject sequentially from plural angles with respect to the subject to obtain M number of X-ray images of the subject in sequence; obtaining, for each pair of consecutive X-ray images, K number of intermediate image(s) by using the pair of consecutive X-ray images as inputs to a convolutional neural network (CNN) model that has been trained for frame interpolation; and establishing the 3D medical imaging model by using a 3D reconstruction technique based on the M number of X-ray images and the intermediate images obtained for the M number of X-ray images.
