Researchers have developed a novel iterative dual-domain refinement network, named DECT-DRNet, to improve material decomposition in sparse-view Dual-Energy CT (DECT) imaging. This approach addresses the challenges posed by sparse-view acquisition, which can lead to nonlinear and ill-posed problems, by incorporating a filtered back-projection (FBP)-based Jacobian approximation module. The network integrates the FBP algorithm with a U-Net to approximate the adjoint Jacobian operator. Additionally, DECT-DRNet utilizes a learnable sparse dual-domain regularization term with Fourier convolutional residual blocks to enhance noise and artifact suppression by combining image and frequency domain processing.
