用多能谱成像数据对齐潜空间,显著减少金属伪影。

Reducing CT Metal Artifacts by Learning Latent Space Alignment with Gemstone Spectral Imaging Data

  • 通过对比普通CT与多能谱成像数据,学习潜空间对齐
  • 在真实患者数据上使伪影减少,结构可读性大幅提升
  • 开源数据集与代码,适合医学影像与图像重建研究者

CT图像中的金属伪影长期影响医学诊断。这些伪影降低图像质量,导致组织细节难以辨识。本文提出基于多能谱成像(GSI)数据的潜空间对齐框架,有效抑制伪影且不引入噪声。关键发现是:即使受伪影影响,常规CT序列仍包含足够结构信息,问题在于表达不清。本方法通过将普通CT表示对齐至GSI数据,实现伪影消除并清晰呈现细节。为此构建了真实患者数据集Artifacts-GSI,并建立新基准。实验表明,该方法显著提升图像可读性。代码与数据已公开于https://um-lab.github.io/GSI-MAR/

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Metal artifacts in CT slices have long posed challenges in medical diagnostics. These artifacts degrade image quality, resulting in suboptimal visualization and complicating the accurate interpretation of tissues adjacent to metal implants. To address these issues, we introduce the Latent Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) Alignment Framework, which effectively reduces metal artifacts while avoiding the introduction of noise information. Our work is based on a key finding that even artifact-affected ordinary CT sequences contain sufficient information to discern detailed structures. The challenge lies in the inability to clearly represent this information. To address this issue, we developed an Alignment Framework that adjusts the representation of ordinary CT images to match GSI CT sequences. GSI is an advanced imaging technique using multiple energy levels to mitigate artifacts caused by metal implants. By aligning the representation to GSI data, we can effectively suppress metal artifacts while clearly revealing detailed structure, without introducing extraneous information into CT sequences. To facilitate the application, we propose a new dataset, Artifacts-GSI, captured from real patients with metal implants, and establish a new benchmark based on this dataset. Experimental results show that our method significantly reduces metal artifacts and greatly enhances the readability of CT slices. All our code and data are available at: https://um-lab.github.io/GSI-MAR/
