Distilling Photon-Counting CT into Routine Chest CT through Clinically Validated Degradation Modeling
Junqi Liu, Xinze Zhou, Wenxuan Li, S. Ye et autres
Photon-counting CT (PCCT) provides superior image quality with higher spatial resolution and lower noise compared to conventional energy-integrating CT (EICT), but its limited clinical availability restricts large-scale research and clinical deployment. To bridge this gap, we propose SUMI, a simulated degradation-to-enhancement method …
