Abstract
Channelized Hotelling observer (CHO), which has been shown to be well correlated with human observer performance in many clinical CT tasks, has a great potential to become the method of choice for objective image quality assessment. However, its use has been quite limited in routine CT practice due to lack of efficient implementation. In this work, a CHO model optimized for the most widely used ACR CT accreditation phantom was applied to evaluate the low-contrast detectability of a deep-learning based reconstruction (DLIR) equipped on a GE Revolution scanner. The commercially available DLIR reconstruction method showed consistent increase in low-contrast detectability over the FBP and the IR method at routine dose levels, which suggests potential dose reduction to the FBP reconstruction by up to 27.5%.
