SS-CTML: Self-Supervised Cross-Task Mutual Learning for CT Image Reconstruction
- 用同一数据生成三个不同扫描条件的重建任务,互相学习提升。
- 在临床数据上达到优异的定量与定性重建效果。
- 适合缺乏标注数据的医疗影像重建场景使用。
监督学习方法虽在CT图像重建中广泛应用,但因临床获取配对训练数据困难,难以实际应用。近年来自监督学习展现出潜力。本文提出一种自监督跨任务互学框架(SS-CTML),从全视角扫描数据中提取稀疏视图和有限视图的sinogram,形成全视角(FVCT)、稀疏视图(SVCT)和有限视图(LVCT)三个重建任务。为每个任务构建神经网络,并设计跨任务互学目标,使三者通过相互学习实现自监督优化。在临床数据集上的实验表明,该框架在定量与定性指标上均表现优异,具备良好的重建性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Supervised deep-learning (SDL) techniques with paired training datasets have been widely studied for X-ray computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. However, due to the difficulties of obtaining paired training datasets in clinical routine, the SDL methods are still away from common uses in clinical practices. In recent years, self-supervised deep-learning (SSDL) techniques have shown great potential for the studies of CT image reconstruction. In this work, we propose a self-supervised cross-task mutual learning (SS-CTML) framework for CT image reconstruction. Specifically, a sparse-view scanned and a limited-view scanned sinogram data are first extracted from a full-view scanned sinogram data, which results in three individual reconstruction tasks, i.e., the full-view CT (FVCT) reconstruction, the sparse-view CT (SVCT) reconstruction, and limited-view CT (LVCT) reconstruction. Then, three neural networks are constructed for the three reconstruction tasks. Considering that the ultimate goals of the three tasks are all to reconstruct high-quality CT images, we therefore construct a set of cross-task mutual learning objectives for the three tasks, in which way, the three neural networks can be self-supervised optimized by learning from each other. Clinical datasets are adopted to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Experimental results demonstrate that the SS-CTML framework can obtain promising CT image reconstruction performance in terms of both quantitative and qualitative measurements.
