Unsupervised Multi-Parameter Inverse Solving for Reducing Ring Artifacts in 3D X-Ray CBCT

  • 将环状伪影还原转化为多参数反演问题,直接从原始数据中求解探测器响应
  • 在模拟与真实数据上均超越现有监督方法,峰值信噪比提升1.2~3.5dB
  • 内存高效,适合大规模3D CBCT重建,适合医疗影像质量优化场景

环状伪影广泛存在于三维锥形束计算机断层扫描(3D CBCT)中,源于X射线探测器的非理想响应,严重影响图像质量和诊断可靠性。现有最先进(SOTA)的环状伪影抑制(RAR)方法依赖大规模配对的CT数据集进行监督学习,虽在域内表现良好,却难以充分捕捉伪影的物理特性,导致复杂真实采集场景下性能显著下降。同时,其在3D CBCT上的可扩展性受限于高内存开销。本文提出Riner,一种新型无监督RAR方法。基于环状伪影形成机制的理论分析,将RAR重构为多参数逆问题,将探测器非理想响应参数化为可求解的物理变量。结合新的可微分前向模型,Riner能直接从CT测量值中联合学习无伪影图像的隐式神经表示并估计物理参数,无需外部训练数据。此外,其基于射线的优化策略具有内存友好特性,提升了在大规模3D CBCT中的实用性。在模拟与真实数据集上的实验表明,Riner优于现有SOTA监督方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Ring artifacts are prevalent in 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) due to non-ideal responses of X-ray detectors, substantially affecting image quality and diagnostic reliability. Existing state-of-the-art (SOTA) ring artifact reduction (RAR) methods rely on supervised learning with large-scale paired CT datasets. While effective in-domain, supervised methods tend to struggle to fully capture the physical characteristics of ring artifacts, leading to pronounced performance drops in complex real-world acquisitions. Moreover, their scalability to 3D CBCT is limited by high memory demands. In this work, we propose Riner, a new unsupervised RAR method. Based on a theoretical analysis of ring artifact formation, we reformulate RAR as a multi-parameter inverse problem, where the non-ideal responses of X-ray detectors are parameterized as solvable physical variables. Using a new differentiable forward model, Riner can jointly learn the implicit neural representation of artifact-free images and estimate the physical parameters directly from CT measurements, without external training data. Additionally, Riner is memory-friendly due to its ray-based optimization, enhancing its usability in large-scale 3D CBCT. Experiments on both simulated and real-world datasets show Riner outperforms existing SOTA supervised methods.
