计算机断层扫描(CT)广泛应用于医疗与工业领域。为降低辐射剂量和测量时间,稀疏视角CT(即大幅减少投影角度)日益受到关注。深度神经网络在提升稀疏视角CT重建质量方面展现出巨大潜力,尤其是生成式扩散模型。然而,这些方法难以扩展到大体积3D图像,原因包括:(i) 3D模型对内存和算力要求高;(ii) 缺乏大规模3D训练数据集;(iii) 独立处理每张2D切片导致切片间不一致。本文提出条件扩散后验对齐(CDPA),通过结合条件扩散与显式数据一致性,实现可扩展的3D稀疏视角CT重建。采用2D U-Net扩散模型,以3D初始重建作为条件,增强跨切片一致性,并引入数据一致性对齐以匹配实际测量投影。在合成与真实锥形束CT(CBCT)数据上的实验表明,该方法达到当前最佳性能,消融实验证明了各模块的协同作用。此外,相同原理亦可提升快速去噪U-Net,使其在远低于扩散模型的计算成本下逼近扩散模型的重建质量。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Computed Tomography (CT) is a widely used imaging modality in medical and industrial applications. To limit radiation exposure and measurement time, there is a growing interest in sparse-view CT, where the number of projection views is significantly reduced. Deep neural networks have shown great promise in improving reconstruction quality in sparse-view CT, especially generative diffusion models. However, these methods struggle to scale to large 3D volumes due to several reasons: (i) the high memory and computational requirements of 3D models, (ii) the lack of large 3D training datasets, and (iii) the inconsistencies across slices when using 2D models independently on each slice. We overcome these limitations and scale diffusion-based sparse-view CT reconstruction to large 3D volumes by combining conditional diffusion with explicit data consistency. We propose Conditional Diffusion Posterior Alignment (CDPA) to enable scalable 3D sparse-view CT reconstruction. A 2D U-Net diffusion model is conditioned on an initial 3D reconstruction to improve inter-slice consistency, combined with data-consistency alignment to match measured projections. Experiments on synthetic and real Cone Beam CT (CBCT) data show state-of-the-art performance, with ablations that confirm the synergistic effects of the proposed pipeline. Finally, we show that the same principles also strengthen fast denoising U-Nets, yielding near-diffusion quality at a fraction of the computational cost.
