Schematic diagram of our virtual DE system based on our deep ASOFS NNC model in a test stage. The original unseen single CXR is decomposed into specific orientation‐frequency components in multiple anatomic segments. The decomposed components are selectively assigned to corresponding trained NNC experts by the gating layer. The resulting bone predictions from multiple NNC experts are merged by the soft‐gating layer followed by the OFS reconstruction to form a complete bone image where soft‐tissue components are removed, while bone components are maintained.
