QCBCT-NET for direct measurement of bone mineral density from quantitative cone-beam CT: a human skull phantom study

Abstract The purpose of this study was to directly and quantitatively measure BMD from Cone-beam CT (CBCT) images by enhancing the linearity and uniformity of the bone intensities based on a hybrid deep-learning model (QCBCT-NET) of combining the generative adversarial network (Cycle-GAN) and U-Net,...
