用两阶段方法修复牙科锥束CT的截断伪影,提升图像质量。

An Iterative Reconstruction Method for Dental Cone-Beam Computed Tomography with a Truncated Field of View

  • 先用隐式神经表示生成扩展区域的先验图像
  • 再基于先验图像修正投影数据中的截断偏差
  • 适合需要高精度重建的临床牙科影像场景

在牙科锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)中,紧凑且低成本的系统设计常采用小尺寸探测器,导致视场(FOV)截断,无法完整覆盖患者头部。在迭代重建中,实际投影与截断视野内前向投影之间的差异会随迭代累积,显著降低图像质量。本文提出一种两阶段方法以缓解此问题:第一阶段利用隐式神经表示(INR)的强表达能力,在扩展区域生成先验图像,使其前向投影可完全覆盖患者头部;为降低计算和内存开销,采用粗粒度体素进行INR重建。该先验图像的前向投影用于估计测量数据中因截断造成的偏差。第二阶段使用修正后的投影数据,在截断区域内执行传统迭代重建。数值结果表明,所提出的两网格方法能有效抑制截断伪影,显著改善CBCT图像质量。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), compact and cost-effective system designs often use small detectors, resulting in a truncated field of view (FOV) that does not fully encompass the patient's head. In iterative reconstruction approaches, the discrepancy between the actual projection and the forward projection within the truncated FOV accumulates over iterations, leading to significant degradation in the reconstructed image quality. In this study, we propose a two-stage approach to mitigate truncation artifacts in dental CBCT. In the first stage, we employ Implicit Neural Representation (INR), leveraging its superior representation power, to generate a prior image over an extended region so that its forward projection fully covers the patient's head. To reduce computational and memory burdens, INR reconstruction is performed with a coarse voxel size. The forward projection of this prior image is then used to estimate the discrepancy due to truncated FOV in the measured projection data. In the second stage, the discrepancy-corrected projection data is utilized in a conventional iterative reconstruction process within the truncated region. Our numerical results demonstrate that the proposed two-grid approach effectively suppresses truncation artifacts, leading to improved CBCT image quality.
