Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods obtain first radiographic-image data reconstructed based on a set of projection data acquired in a radiographic scan; apply one or more trained machine-learning models to the set of projection data and the first radiographic-image data to obtain a set of parameters for a scatter kernel; input the set of parameters and the set of projection data into the scatter kernel to obtain scatter-distribution data; and perform scatter correction on the set of projection data using the scatter-distribution data, to obtain a set of corrected projection data.
