无需成对数据,用扩散模型降噪心肌PET图像,保持定量准确性。

DECADE: A Temporally-Consistent Unsupervised Diffusion Model for Enhanced Rb-82 Dynamic Cardiac PET Image Denoising

  • 基于无监督扩散模型,利用噪声帧引导,保证时间一致性。
  • 在15%计数数据上,比UNet和扩散模型更好还原血流参数K1/MBF。
  • 适合做心肌灌注动态PET去噪,尤其缺配对数据的临床场景。

Rb-82动态心肌PET成像广泛用于冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的临床诊断,但其半衰期短导致噪声高,影响动态帧质量和参数图。现有深度学习去噪方法受限于缺乏成对干净-噪声数据、快速示踪剂动力学及帧间噪声变化。本文提出DECADE(一种用于增强Rb-82心脏PET去噪的时序一致无监督扩散模型),该框架在训练与采样中均引入时序一致性,以噪声帧为指导,保持定量精度。模型在Siemens Vision 450和Biograph Vision Quadra扫描仪采集的数据集上训练与评估。在Vision 450数据集上,DECADE持续生成高质量动态与参数图像,显著降低噪声,同时保留心肌血流(MBF)和心肌血流储备(MFR)。在Quadra数据集上,以15%计数图像为输入、全计数图像为参考,DECADE在图像质量与K1/MBF量化方面优于基于UNet及其他扩散模型的方法。该框架实现了无需成对数据的Rb-82动态心脏PET有效去噪,支持更清晰可视化,同时保持定量完整性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Rb-82 dynamic cardiac PET imaging is widely used for the clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), but its short half-life results in high noise levels that degrade dynamic frame quality and parametric imaging. The lack of paired clean-noisy training data, rapid tracer kinetics, and frame-dependent noise variations further limit the effectiveness of existing deep learning denoising methods. We propose DECADE (A Temporally-Consistent Unsupervised Diffusion model for Enhanced Rb-82 CArdiac PET DEnoising), an unsupervised diffusion framework that generalizes across early- to late-phase dynamic frames. DECADE incorporates temporal consistency during both training and iterative sampling, using noisy frames as guidance to preserve quantitative accuracy. The method was trained and evaluated on datasets acquired from Siemens Vision 450 and Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra scanners. On the Vision 450 dataset, DECADE consistently produced high-quality dynamic and parametric images with reduced noise while preserving myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR). On the Quadra dataset, using 15%-count images as input and full-count images as reference, DECADE outperformed UNet-based and other diffusion models in image quality and K1/MBF quantification. The proposed framework enables effective unsupervised denoising of Rb-82 dynamic cardiac PET without paired training data, supporting clearer visualization while maintaining quantitative integrity.
