Comparisons between pix2pix pre-reconstruction processing and conventional multiscale bilateral filtering (MSBF) pre-reconstruction processing with and without noise reduction (microcalcifications (MCs) [showing window: 0.41–0.70]; masses [3.9 mm: 0.41–0.70, 4.7 mm: 0.35–0.64]) in the in-focus plane (BR3D phantom thickness: 40 mm). The display referring to the image contrast of the BR3D phantom was changed for visual comparison of the signal and background gray levels. h: approximately 50% reduction of automatic exposure control reference dose (AECrd), q: approximately 75% reduction of AECrd.
