GenDiff通过联合建模剂量与解剖结构,提升低剂量CT重建质量与泛化能力。
GenDiff: A Dose and Anatomy Aware Diffusion Model with Structural Prior Refinement for Low-Dose CT Reconstruction and Generalization

- 融合剂量与解剖信息的统一网络,支持连续剂量适应
- 在多部位临床数据上均超越现有方法,超低剂量下仍保持清晰结构
- 适合需要跨剂量、跨部位通用的临床低剂量CT应用
计算机断层扫描(CT)是临床诊断的关键影像手段,但降低辐射剂量会引入严重噪声和结构伪影,影响图像质量。现有基于深度学习的低剂量CT(LDCT)重建方法通常针对固定剂量或特定解剖区域优化,限制了其在真实临床场景中的鲁棒性与泛化能力。本文提出GenDiff,一种可泛化的扩散模型框架,联合建模连续辐射剂量与解剖信息。该框架包含剂量-解剖编码器以学习采集感知嵌入,剂量与解剖条件化的冷扩散主干用于迭代精炼,物理一致性更新以保证对CT正向模型的保真度,以及结构先验精炼模块(SPRM),在抑制剂量相关伪影的同时保留解剖结构。在多解剖临床数据集上的广泛实验表明,包括未见的超低剂量条件及分布外的幻像与动物数据集,GenDiff始终优于最先进的卷积神经网络与扩散模型方法。该方法在不同剂量水平、解剖区域和采集域间均表现出优异重建质量与强鲁棒性,为实际低剂量CT成像提供了有前景的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Computed tomography (CT) is a critical imaging modality for clinical diagnosis, but reducing radiation dose inevitably introduces severe noise and structured artifacts that degrade image quality. Existing deep learning-based low-dose CT (LDCT) reconstruction methods are typically optimized for fixed dose levels or specific anatomical regions, limiting their robustness and generalization in realistic clinical settings. We propose GenDiff, a generalizable diffusion-based framework for LDCT reconstruction that jointly models continuous radiation dose and anatomical information within a unified reconstruction network. The proposed framework integrates a Dose-Anatomy Encoder to learn acquisition-aware embeddings, a dose- and anatomy-conditioned cold diffusion backbone for iterative refinement, a physics-consistency update to enforce fidelity to the CT forward model, and a Structural Prior Refinement Module (SPRM) that preserves anatomical structures while suppressing dose-dependent artifacts. Extensive experiments on multi-anatomy clinical datasets, including unseen ultra-low-dose conditions as well as out-of-distribution phantom and animal datasets, demonstrate that GenDiff consistently outperforms state-of-the-art convolutional neural network and diffusion-based reconstruction methods. The proposed approach achieves superior reconstruction quality while maintaining strong robustness across different dose levels, anatomical regions, and acquisition domains, making it a promising solution for practical low-dose CT imaging.
