Abstract
Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly used for disease screening, diagnosis, and treatment guidance. However, abdominal MRI has disadvantages including slow speed and vulnerability to motions, while CT suffers from problems of radiation. It has been reported that deep learning reconstruction can solve such problems while maintaining good image quality. Recently, deep learning-based image reconstruction has become a hot topic in the field of medical imaging. This study reviews the latest research on deep learning reconstruction in abdominal imaging, including the widely used convolutional neural network, generative adversarial network, and recurrent neural network.
Core Tip: We summarized the current deep learning-based abdominal image reconstruction methods in this review. The deep learning reconstruction methods can solve the issues of slow imaging speed in magnetic resonance imaging and high-dose radiation in computed tomography while maintaining high image quality. Deep learning has a wide range of clinical applications in current abdominal imaging.
