Intended Use

The Deep Learning Image Reconstruction for Gemstone Spectral Imaging option is intended for whole body, vascular, and contrast enhanced head CT applications.

Technology

Uses a dedicated convolution neural network (CNN) trained specifically on dual-energy CT images to reconstruct CT images that maintain or improve upon traditional filtered back projection (FBP) images and ASiR-V performance, producing monochromatic, material decomposition, and virtual unenhanced images. Integration into the existing CT scanner's raw data-based reconstruction chain enables generation of DICOM-compatible images with selectable reconstruction strengths (Low, Medium, High).

Performance

The device was tested through extensive bench and clinical testing including low contrast detectability, image noise, spatial resolution, contrast to noise ratio, CT number accuracy, material decomposition accuracy, metal artifact reduction, and pediatric phantom testing. A clinical reader study with 40 retrospective cases evaluated by multiple radiologists confirmed that DLIR-GSI produces diagnostic quality images with preferred noise textures compared to ASiR-V, supporting safety and effectiveness.
