1. A non-spectral computed tomography scanner, comprising:
a radiation source configured to emit x-ray radiation;
a detector array configured to detect the x-ray radiation and generate non-spectral data;
a memory configured to store a trained neural network; and
a processor configured to process the non-spectral data with the trained neural network to produce spectral volumetric image data.
