Various methods and systems are provided for computed tomography imaging. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, with an x-ray detector and an x-ray source coupled to a gantry, a three-dimensional image volume of a subject while the subject moves through a bore of the gantry and the gantry rotates the x-ray detector and the x-ray source around the subject, inputting the three-dimensional image volume to a trained deep neural network to generate a corrected three-dimensional image volume with a reduction in aliasing artifacts present in the three-dimensional image volume, and outputting the corrected three-dimensional image volume. In this way, aliasing artifacts caused by sub-sampling may be removed from computed tomography images while preserving details, texture, and sharpness in the computed tomography images.

In a gantry for a computed tomography device, a rotary frame is arranged on the tilt frame so that the rotary frame rotates relative to the tilt frame about an axis of rotation. The tilt frame is arranged on the support frame so that the tilt frame tilts about a tilt axis relative to the support frame, such that a tilt angle of the tilt frame relative to the support frame is changeable by a tilting movement of the tilt frame relative to the support frame about the tilt axis. The proximity switch has a proximity sensor and a reference mark, which interacts with the proximity sensor. The proximity switch is also coupled to the support frame and to the tilt frame such that the proximity switch is configured to react to an approach of the tilt angle to a reference angle.

Methods and systems for deep learning based image reconstruction are disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving a set of imaging projections data, identifying a voxel to reconstruct, receiving a trained regression model, and reconstructing the voxel. The voxel is reconstructed by: projecting the voxel on each imaging projection in the set of imaging projections according to an acquisition geometry, extracting adjacent pixels around each projected voxel, feeding the regression model with the extracted adjacent pixel data to produce a reconstructed value of the voxel, and repeating the reconstruction for each voxel to be reconstructed to produce a reconstructed image.

Various methods and systems are provided for artifact reduction with resolution preservation. In one example, a method includes obtaining projection data of an imaging subject, identifying a metal-containing region in the projection data, interpolating the metal-containing region to generate interpolated projection data, extracting high frequency content information from the projection data in the metal-containing region, adding the extracted high frequency content information to the interpolated projection data to generate adjusted projection data, and reconstructing one or more diagnostic images from the adjusted projection data.
