获取高质量正电子发射断层扫描(PET)图像需注射高剂量示踪剂,增加辐射风险。从低剂量PET(LPET)生成标准剂量PET(SPET)成为潜在解决方案。然而,现有研究主要关注单个低剂量去噪,忽略了因患者间差异导致的剂量响应偏差,以及来自CT图像的互补解剖约束。本文提出一种新型CT引导多剂量自适应注意力扩散模型(MDAA-Diff),用于多剂量PET去噪。该方法融合解剖引导与剂量自适应机制,在低剂量条件下实现更优去噪性能。具体地,引入CT引导的高频小波注意力(HWA)模块,通过小波变换从CT中分离出高频解剖边界特征,并通过自适应加权融合机制融入PET成像以增强边缘细节。此外,设计剂量自适应注意力(DAA)模块,将剂量条件动态融入通道-空间注意力权重计算。在18F-FDG和68Ga-FAPI数据集上的大量实验表明,MDAA-Diff在降低剂量条件下仍能有效保持诊断质量,优于当前最优方法。代码已公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Acquiring high-quality Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images requires administering high-dose radiotracers, which increases radiation exposure risks. Generating standard-dose PET (SPET) from low-dose PET (LPET) has become a potential solution. However, previous studies have primarily focused on single low-dose PET denoising, neglecting two critical factors: discrepancies in dose response caused by inter-patient variability, and complementary anatomical constraints derived from CT images. In this work, we propose a novel CT-Guided Multi-dose Adaptive Attention Denoising Diffusion Model (MDAA-Diff) for multi-dose PET denoising. Our approach integrates anatomical guidance and dose-level adaptation to achieve superior denoising performance under low-dose conditions. Specifically, this approach incorporates a CT-Guided High-frequency Wavelet Attention (HWA) module, which uses wavelet transforms to separate high-frequency anatomical boundary features from CT images. These extracted features are then incorporated into PET imaging through an adaptive weighted fusion mechanism to enhance edge details. Additionally, we propose the Dose-Adaptive Attention (DAA) module, a dose-conditioned enhancement mechanism that dynamically integrates dose levels into channel-spatial attention weight calculation. Extensive experiments on 18F-FDG and 68Ga-FAPI datasets demonstrate that MDAA-Diff outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in preserving diagnostic quality under reduced-dose conditions. Our code is publicly available.
