Direct Dual-Energy CT Material Decomposition using Model-based Denoising Diffusion Model

  • 将物理模型嵌入损失函数,结合扩散先验直接处理投影数据。

  • 适合临床高精度材料分析,尤其对辐射敏感患者有应用潜力。

双能X射线计算机断层扫描(DECT)可通过能量依赖的线性衰减特性自动分解临床图像中的物质,而无需人工分割。然而,大多数方法在图像域进行后处理,忽略了束硬化效应,导致结果次优。本文提出一种基于模型的扩散方法DEcomp-MoD,直接将DECT投影数据转换为物质图像。该算法将光谱DECT模型知识融入深度学习训练损失,并在物质图像域结合基于得分的去噪扩散先验。推理时,输入原始投影数据(sinogram),通过模型引导的条件扩散过程生成物质图像,保证结果一致性。在低剂量AAPM数据集的合成数据上,定量与定性评估显示,DEcomp-MoD优于当前最先进的无监督得分模型和监督深度学习网络,具备临床诊断部署潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Dual-energy X-ray Computed Tomography (DECT) constitutes an advanced technology which enables automatic decomposition of materials in clinical images without manual segmentation using the dependency of the X-ray linear attenuation with energy. However, most methods perform material decomposition in the image domain as a post-processing step after reconstruction but this procedure does not account for the beam-hardening effect and it results in sub-optimal results. In this work, we propose a deep learning procedure called Dual-Energy Decomposition Model-based Diffusion (DEcomp-MoD) for quantitative material decomposition which directly converts the DECT projection data into material images. The algorithm is based on incorporating the knowledge of the spectral DECT model into the deep learning training loss and combining a score-based denoising diffusion learned prior in the material image domain. Importantly the inference optimization loss takes as inputs directly the sinogram and converts to material images through a model-based conditional diffusion model which guarantees consistency of the results. We evaluate the performance with both quantitative and qualitative estimation of the proposed DEcomp-MoD method on synthetic DECT sinograms from the low-dose AAPM dataset. Finally, we show that DEcomp-MoD outperform state-of-the-art unsupervised score-based model and supervised deep learning networks, with the potential to be deployed for clinical diagnosis.
