Impact of a prototype, dedicated AI‐based spectral image reconstruction algorithm on the quality of low‐keV virtual monoenergetic images and iodine maps: A phantom study
Compared to the HIR algorithm used in clinical practice for low-keV VMIs, Standard, Smooth and Smoother levels of SAIR reduced image noise and improved the detectability of contrast-enhanced lesions. Better noise texture was found only with the Standard and Smooth levels compared to HIR.
