Apple CT Test Reconstructions compared in "Quantitative comparison of deep learning-based image reconstruction methods for low-dose and sparse-angle CT applications"

Supplementing record containing the test reconstructions computed for the comparison on the Apple CT Datasets in the article "Quantitative comparison of deep learning-based image reconstruction methods for low-dose and sparse-angle CT applications".

The experiments include 12 different settings:

• Noise settings: Noise-free, Gaussian noise, Scattering
• Numbers of angles: 50, 10, 5, 2

For each setting and each method, reconstructions for 100 selected test slices are included.

For details, see the article "Quantitative comparison of deep learning-based image reconstruction methods for low-dose and sparse-angle CT applications". See also the supplementary record containing (trained network) parameters and the supplementary repository providing source code. Below are references for the included methods.
