  • Patent number: 10984565
    Abstract: An image processing method, comprising: acquiring, by a CT scanning system, projection data of an object; and processing, by using a convolutional neural network, the projection data, to acquire an estimated image of the object. The convolutional neural network comprises: a projection domain network for processing input projection data to obtain estimated projection data; an analytical reconstruction network layer for performing analytical reconstruction to obtain a reconstructed image; an image domain network for processing the reconstructed image to obtain an estimated image, a projection layer for performing a projection operation by using a system projection matrix of the CT scanning system, to obtain a projection result of the estimated image; and a statistical model layer for determining consistency among the input projection data, the estimated projection data, and the projection result of the estimated image based on a statistical model.
