用3D扩散模型去噪稀疏视角CT,大幅降低辐射剂量。

MInDI-3D: Iterative Deep Learning in 3D for Sparse-view Cone Beam Computed Tomography

  • 基于3D迭代去噪,直接从稀疏投影重建高质量体积图像。
  • 在50次投影下提升12.96 dB PSNR,实现8倍辐射剂量降低。
  • 临床评估认可其用于定位,且能保留肿瘤边界,适配新设备。

我们提出MInDI-3D(3D医学反演直接迭代),首个用于真实世界稀疏视角锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)伪影消除的3D条件扩散模型,旨在降低成像辐射暴露。核心贡献是将“InDI”概念从2D拓展至全3D体数据处理,实现从稀疏视角输入直接迭代优化CBCT体积。另一贡献是从公开的CT-RATE胸部CT数据集生成包含16,182个样本的大规模伪CBCT数据集,以稳健训练MInDI-3D。我们进行了全面评估,包括定量指标、可扩展性分析、泛化测试及11名临床医生的主观评价。结果表明,该模型在独立真实世界测试集上仅用50次投影即实现12.96 (6.10) dB PSNR提升,支持8倍辐射剂量减少。性能随训练数据增多而提升,且在16名癌症患者的真实扫描中达到与3D U-Net相当的水平,在失真和任务导向指标上表现一致。模型还能泛化至新的CBCT扫描几何结构。临床医生认为其足以满足所有解剖部位的患者定位需求,并有效保留肺部肿瘤边界。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present MInDI-3D (Medical Inversion by Direct Iteration in 3D), the first 3D conditional diffusion-based model for real-world sparse-view Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) artefact removal, aiming to reduce imaging radiation exposure. A key contribution is extending the "InDI" concept from 2D to a full 3D volumetric approach for medical images, implementing an iterative denoising process that refines the CBCT volume directly from sparse-view input. A further contribution is the generation of a large pseudo-CBCT dataset (16,182) from chest CT volumes of the CT-RATE public dataset to robustly train MInDI-3D. We performed a comprehensive evaluation, including quantitative metrics, scalability analysis, generalisation tests, and a clinical assessment by 11 clinicians. Our results show MInDI-3D's effectiveness, achieving a 12.96 (6.10) dB PSNR gain over uncorrected scans with only 50 projections on the CT-RATE pseudo-CBCT (independent real-world) test set and enabling an 8x reduction in imaging radiation exposure. We demonstrate its scalability by showing that performance improves with more training data. Importantly, MInDI-3D matches the performance of a 3D U-Net on real-world scans from 16 cancer patients across distortion and task-based metrics. It also generalises to new CBCT scanner geometries. Clinicians rated our model as sufficient for patient positioning across all anatomical sites and found it preserved lung tumour boundaries well.
