An image correction system and method takes an initial volume reconstructed from a number of projections obtained by the imaging system as the sole input to the image correction system. In a first step, the image correction system reconstructs a number of reconstructed or forward projections from the initial volume. In a second and optionally concurrent step, the image correction system forms a corrected volume by applying an artificial intelligence/deep learning/convolutional neural network model to the initial volume. In a third step, the image correction system employs the forward projections and the corrected volume as inputs to an iterative reconstruction process to achieve an optimized volume as an output from the image correction system. The use of the initial volume as the only input to the image correction system simplifies the computational processes of the image processing system while providing an optimized image having improved detail and image quality.
