- 适合需要快速高精度重建的医疗影像场景
计算机断层扫描(CT)在医疗中广泛应用,但低剂量扫描会因噪声增加导致图像质量下降。传统方法包括预处理、后处理及基于物理模型的方法,虽有一定效果,但性能受限。近年来,扩散模型通过融合深度学习与物理先验,在重建质量上超越传统方法。然而,其采样过程耗时较长。本文首次提出将深度展开与直接扩散桥(DDBs)结合用于CT重建,将物理规律嵌入网络架构,跳过扩散过程中过度噪声的中间阶段,实现从劣化图像到清晰图像的高效过渡。此外,设计了定制化训练流程,避免采样过程中的误差累积。该方法显著减少采样步数,提升重建保真度,在多项指标上超越多个现有先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Computed Tomography (CT) is widely used in healthcare for detailed imaging. However, Low-dose CT, despite reducing radiation exposure, often results in images with compromised quality due to increased noise. Traditional methods, including preprocessing, post-processing, and model-based approaches that leverage physical principles, are employed to improve the quality of image reconstructions from noisy projections or sinograms. Recently, deep learning has significantly advanced the field, with diffusion models outperforming both traditional methods and other deep learning approaches. These models effectively merge deep learning with physics, serving as robust priors for the inverse problem in CT. However, they typically require prolonged computation times during sampling. This paper introduces the first approach to merge deep unfolding with Direct Diffusion Bridges (DDBs) for CT, integrating the physics into the network architecture and facilitating the transition from degraded to clean images by bypassing excessively noisy intermediate stages commonly encountered in diffusion models. Moreover, this approach includes a tailored training procedure that eliminates errors typically accumulated during sampling. The proposed approach requires fewer sampling steps and demonstrates improved fidelity metrics, outperforming many existing state-of-the-art techniques.
