CT‐augmented digital tomosynthesis image reconstruction in image‐guided bronchoscopy interventions
While the initial estimation in iterative reconstruction algorithms is often overlooked, we proved that initial estimation is of critical importance in DTS image reconstruction and we have demonstrated the profound advantages of integrating prior CT images in intraoperative DTS image reconstruction. CT-augmented DTS offers a viable alternative to CBCT in guiding bronchoscopy interventions at a fraction of the radiation dose. Further clinical studies are needed to validate improved diagnostic yield.
