提出三重散射模型,显著提升微焦点双源成像的散射校正精度。

A Comprehensive Scatter Correction Model for Micro-Focus Dual-Source Imaging Systems: Combining Ambient, Cross, and Forward Scatter

  • 将散射分为环境、交叉和前向三类,更全面建模散射信号。
  • 在水骨幻影上实现1.32%的散射误差,远低于现有方法的12.99%。
  • 适合需要高精度散射校正的医学成像与工业检测研究者。

与单源成像系统相比,配备双交叉分布扫描束的双源成像系统显著提升了时间分辨率并捕获更全面的物体扫描信息。然而,两束间的相互作用引入了更复杂的散射信号。现有方法通常将散射信号建模为交叉散射与前向散射之和,且交叉散射估计仅限于主路径上的单次散射。通过自研微焦点双源成像系统的实验测量,我们发现硬件引起的环境散射峰值强度与单源投影强度之比甚至超过60%,这一因素常被传统模型忽略。为此,我们提出更全面的模型,将总散射信号分解为环境散射、交叉散射和前向散射三部分。进一步提出交叉散射核叠加(xSKS)模块,通过建模非主路径上的单次及多次交叉散射事件提升交叉散射估计精度;同时采用快速物体自适应散射核叠加(FOSKS)模块高效估计前向散射。在自设计水骨幻影的蒙特卡洛模拟实验中,本模型表现出卓越性能,散射对主信号加权平均绝对百分比误差(SPMAPE)仅为1.32%,显著优于当前最优方法的12.99%。物理实验进一步验证了该模型在散射伪影校正中的优异表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Compared to single-source imaging systems, dual-source imaging systems equipped with two cross-distributed scanning beams significantly enhance temporal resolution and capture more comprehensive object scanning information. Nevertheless, the interaction between the two scanning beams introduces more complex scatter signals into the acquired projection data. Existing methods typically model these scatter signals as the sum of cross-scatter and forward scatter, with cross-scatter estimation limited to single-scatter along primary paths. Through experimental measurements on our selfdeveloped micro-focus dual-source imaging system, we observed that the peak ratio of hardware-induced ambient scatter to single-source projection intensity can even exceed 60%, a factor often overlooked in conventional models. To address this limitation, we propose a more comprehensive model that decomposes the total scatter signals into three distinct components: ambient scatter, cross-scatter, and forward scatter. Furthermore, we introduce a cross-scatter kernel superposition (xSKS) module to enhance the accuracy of cross-scatter estimation by modeling both single and multiple crossscatter events along non-primary paths. Additionally, we employ a fast object-adaptive scatter kernel superposition (FOSKS) module for efficient forward scatter estimation. In Monte Carlo (MC) simulation experiments performed on a custom-designed waterbone phantom, our model demonstrated remarkable superiority, achieving a scatter-toprimary-weighted mean absolute percentage error (SPMAPE) of 1.32%, significantly lower than the 12.99% attained by the state-of-the-art method. Physical experiments further validate the superior performance of our model in correcting scatter artifacts.
