Abstract

See full text

Various methods and systems are provided for x-ray imaging. In one embodiment, a method comprises acquiring an image of a subject, generating, based on the image and a plurality of parameters, a noise modulation map comprising an estimated amount of noise in each pixel of the image, selectively reducing noise in the image based on the noise modulation map to generate a final image, and displaying the final image. In this way, the radiation dose during imaging may be reduced while maintaining or even improving image quality.
