深度学习在降低X射线计算机断层扫描(CT)图像噪声和伪影方面表现优异。自监督CT重建方法因无需真实标签数据而特别适用于实际应用。然而,这些方法在训练中采用简化的X射线物理模型,可能对闪烁体模糊、扫描几何或噪声分布做出不准确假设,导致在真实成像条件下性能下降。本文回顾了六种近期自监督CT重建方法的模型假设,结合稳健等变成像与Sparse2Inverse方法的思想,提出一种名为Equivariance2Inverse的新自监督重建方法,可有效应对闪烁体模糊和有限角度数据。我们在真实世界的2DeteCT数据集以及含/不含闪烁体模糊、有限角度扫描的合成数据上进行了基准测试。结果表明,假设像素间噪声独立的方法在存在闪烁体模糊的数据上表现不佳;同时,当物体分布具有旋转不变性时,该特性可用于减少有限角度重建中的伪影。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning has shown impressive results in reducing noise and artifacts in X-ray computed tomography (CT) reconstruction. Self-supervised CT reconstruction methods are especially appealing for real-world applications because they require no ground truth training examples. However, these methods involve a simplified X-ray physics model during training, which may make inaccurate assumptions, for example, about scintillator blurring, the scanning geometry, or the distribution of the noise. As a result, they can be less robust to real-world imaging circumstances. In this paper, we review the model assumptions of six recent self-supervised CT reconstruction methods. Based on this, we combined concepts of the Robust Equivariant Imaging and Sparse2Inverse methods in a new self-supervised CT reconstruction method called Equivariance2Inverse that is robust to scintillator blurring and limited-angle data. We benchmarked Equivariance2Inverse and the existing methods on the real-world 2DeteCT dataset and on synthetic data with and without scintillator blurring and a limited-angle scanning geometry. The results of our benchmark show that methods that assume that the noise is pixel-wise independent do not perform well on data with scintillator blurring. Moreover, they show that when the distribution of objects is rotationally invariant, this invariance can be used to reduce artifacts in limited-angle reconstructions.
