用神经先验与扩散模型,提升超稀疏视角CBCT的图像质量。
Continuity-driven Synergistic Diffusion with Neural Priors for Ultra-Sparse-View CBCT Reconstruction
- 用神经先验构建连续三维衰减表示,从稀疏数据生成合理投影。
- 双路径扩散修复角度连续性与层间一致性,融合后重建更完整。
- 适合低剂量CBCT重建,尤其在极端稀疏采样下表现优异。
临床应用中,锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)受限于辐射暴露与图像质量之间的权衡。超稀疏角度采样虽能降低剂量,但导致严重欠采样伪影和层间不一致,影响诊断可靠性。现有重建方法难以兼顾角度连续性与空间细节保真度。为此,本文提出连续性驱动的协同扩散与神经先验方法(CSDN),用于超稀疏视角CBCT重建。神经先验作为结构基础,编码连续三维衰减表示,实现从超稀疏测量中合成物理一致的密集投影。在此基础上,设计双协同精炼路径:基于投影图的数字放射成像精炼扩散(DR-RD)强化层间一致性,正弦图精炼扩散(Sino-RD)恢复角度连续性。两路径输出由双投影重建融合模块(DPRF)自适应融合,实现连贯的体积重建。大量实验表明,该方法在超稀疏视角下有效抑制伪影并恢复细纹理,优于现有最先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The clinical application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is constrained by the inherent trade-off between radiation exposure and image quality. Ultra-sparse angular sampling, employed to reduce dose, introduces severe undersampling artifacts and inter-slice inconsistencies, compromising diagnostic reliability. Existing reconstruction methods often struggle to balance angular continuity with spatial detail fidelity. To address these challenges, we propose a Continuity-driven Synergistic Diffusion with Neural priors (CSDN) for ultra-sparse-view CBCT reconstruction. Neural priors are introduced as a structural foundation to encode a continuous threedimensional attenuation representation, enabling the synthesis of physically consistent dense projections from ultra-sparse measurements. Building upon this neural-prior-based initialization, a synergistic diffusion strategy is developed, consisting of two collaborative refinement paths: a Sinogram Refinement Diffusion (Sino-RD) process that restores angular continuity and a Digital Radiography Refinement Diffusion (DR-RD) process that enforces inter-slice consistency from the projection image perspective. The outputs of the two diffusion paths are adaptively fused by the Dual-Projection Reconstruction Fusion (DPRF) module to achieve coherent volumetric reconstruction. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed CSDN effectively suppresses artifacts and recovers fine textures under ultra-sparse-view conditions, outperforming existing state-of-the-art techniques.
