Summary:A method including receiving, from a C-arm device, a plurality of fluoroscopic images of a lung, wherein each fluoroscopic image is obtained with the C-arm device positioned at a particular pose of a plurality of poses traversed by the C-arm device while the C-arm device is moved through a range of motion including a range of rotation, the range of rotation encompassing a sweep angle between 45 degrees and 120 degrees; generating an enhanced tomographic image of the lung, by utilizing: a trained machine learning model and the plurality of fluoroscopic images; and outputting a representation of the enhanced tomographic image, wherein, when tested by a method in which: the lung includes a lesion smaller than 30 millimeters, and the representation is an axial slice showing a boundary of the lesion, the lesion has a contrast-to-noise value of at least 5 as compared to a background of the representation.
