METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING IMAGE DATA IN A MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM

Abstract

A method for performing image data processing in a medical imaging system is provided. The method includes collecting a first image dataset, using the collected first image dataset, training a first neural network, based on a loss function having a perceptual component; and using the trained first neural network, inferring output image data from input image data obtained by the medical imaging system, such that the inferred output image data has an image quality better than an image quality of the obtained input image data. The training of the first neural network uses a pretrained second neural network. The pretrained second neural network is specific to a particular domain to which the medical imaging system corresponds.
