针对牙科CBCT截断视野问题,提出自适应多分辨率哈希编码重建方法。
Adaptive Multi-resolution Hash-Encoding Framework for INR-based Dental CBCT Reconstruction with Truncated FOV
- 在扩展域上训练,用多分辨率哈希编码区分内外区域采样密度。
- 相比固定分辨率方案,计算效率提升60%以上,保持截断区内图像质量。
- 适合处理头部未完全包含在扫描视野中的牙科CBCT重建任务。
隐式神经表示(INR)结合哈希编码已成为计算机断层扫描(CT)图像重建的有前景方法。然而,直接将INR技术应用于截断视野(FOV)的3D牙科锥形束CT(CBCT)存在挑战。训练过程中,若FOV未能完整覆盖患者头部,则测量投影与截断域内前向投影之间产生不匹配,导致网络对衰减值估计不准,重建图像出现严重伪影。本文提出一种计算高效的基于INR的重建框架,采用多分辨率哈希编码处理截断FOV的3D牙科CBCT。为缓解截断伪影,模型在扩展的重建域上训练,以完全覆盖患者头部。为提升效率,采用自适应策略:在截断FOV内部使用更高分辨率和更密集采样,在外部使用粗分辨率和稀疏采样。为保持网络输入维度一致,引入自适应哈希编码器,仅激活外部点的低层级特征。所提方法通过扩展FOV有效抑制截断伪影。与固定分辨率和固定采样率的朴素扩展方案相比,该自适应策略在800×800×600体数据上计算时间减少超过60%,同时保持截断区域内峰值信噪比(PSNR)不变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Implicit neural representation (INR), particularly in combination with hash encoding, has recently emerged as a promising approach for computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. However, directly applying INR techniques to 3D dental cone-beam CT (CBCT) with a truncated field of view (FOV) is challenging. During the training process, if the FOV does not fully encompass the patient's head, a discrepancy arises between the measured projections and the forward projections computed within the truncated domain. This mismatch leads the network to estimate attenuation values inaccurately, producing severe artifacts in the reconstructed images. In this study, we propose a computationally efficient INR-based reconstruction framework that leverages multi-resolution hash encoding for 3D dental CBCT with a truncated FOV. To mitigate truncation artifacts, we train the network over an expanded reconstruction domain that fully encompasses the patient's head. For computational efficiency, we adopt an adaptive training strategy that uses a multi-resolution grid: finer resolution levels and denser sampling inside the truncated FOV, and coarser resolution levels with sparser sampling outside. To maintain consistent input dimensionality of the network across spatially varying resolutions, we introduce an adaptive hash encoder that selectively activates the lower-level features of the hash hierarchy for points outside the truncated FOV. The proposed method with an extended FOV effectively mitigates truncation artifacts. Compared with a naive domain extension using fixed resolution levels and a fixed sampling rate, the adaptive strategy reduces computational time by over 60% for an image volume of 800x800x600, while preserving the PSNR within the truncated FOV.
