• Deep learning image reconstructions (DLIRs) have a higher contrast-to-noise ratio compared to medium-strength hybrid iterative reconstruction techniques. • DLIR may be advantageous in patients with large body habitus due to a lower image noise. • DLIR can enable further optimization of radiation doses used in abdominal CT.
