- 实验显示图像质量显著提升,且在多种场景下表现稳定
- 适合需要高精度重建的医学影像领域,尤其对低剂量扫描有帮助
准确的计算机断层成像(CT)图像重建在医学影像中至关重要。然而,传统滤波反投影(FBP)方法在反投影步骤中存在不可避免的插值误差,影响重建精度。本文提出一种新型深度学习模型——基于可学习插值的FBP(LInFBP),在FBP的反投影步骤中实现可学习插值,有效缓解插值误差。具体而言,LInFBP将离散投影数据的局部潜在连续函数表示为选定基函数的线性组合,并通过深度网络预测系数以学习该连续函数。随后,利用学习到的连续函数进行反投影中的插值,首次在FBP中引入深度学习实现插值优化。大量实验涵盖多种CT场景,验证了LInFBP在提升图像质量、即插即用能力及泛化性能方面的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) images is crucial in medical imaging field. However, there are unavoidable interpolation errors in the backprojection step of the conventional reconstruction methods, i.e., filtered-back-projection based methods, which are detrimental to the accurate reconstruction. In this study, to address this issue, we propose a novel deep learning model, named Leanable-Interpolation-based FBP or LInFBP shortly, to enhance the reconstructed CT image quality, which achieves learnable interpolation in the backprojection step of filtered backprojection (FBP) and alleviates the interpolation errors. Specifically, in the proposed LInFBP, we formulate every local piece of the latent continuous function of discrete sinogram data as a linear combination of selected basis functions, and learn this continuous function by exploiting a deep network to predict the linear combination coefficients. Then, the learned latent continuous function is exploited for interpolation in backprojection step, which first time takes the advantage of deep learning for the interpolation in FBP. Extensive experiments, which encompass diverse CT scenarios, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed LInFBP in terms of enhanced reconstructed image quality, plug-and-play ability and generalization capability.
