Task-Based CT Protocol Optimization Using Reinforcement Learning and Virtual Imaging Trials

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

Protocol optimization in computed tomography (CT) aims to improve diagnostic image quality while reducing radiation dose, but the interdependence of acquisition and reconstruction parameters makes exhaustive testing impractical. We propose a virtual imaging trial framework with reinforcement learning for efficient CT protocol optimization. Sixty-three computational human models with liver lesions were imaged using a validated CT simulator across 468 combinations of acquisition and reconstruction parameters, including tube voltage, tube current, reconstruction kernel, slice thickness, and pixel
