Reducing windmill artifacts in clinical spiral CT using a deep learning-based projection raw data upsampling: Method and robustness evaluation

CONCLUSIONS: Deep learning-based raw data interpolation has the potential to enhance the sampling in z-direction and thus minimize aliasing effects, as it is the case with the zFFS. Especially a training with synthetic data showed promising results. While it may not outperform zFFS, our method represents a beneficial solution for CT scanners lacking the necessary hardware components for …
