X射线计算机断层扫描(CT)在存在高衰减物体(如牙科填充物或骨科植入物)时会遭受严重金属伪影。这些伪影源于X射线的多能特性,其衰减随光子能量和材料成分强烈变化,破坏了传统重建算法所依赖的单能假设。近期基于神经渲染的方法尝试通过可微分的多能投影模型缓解这一不匹配,但仍面临平滑偏差、细节丢失和大规模锥形束CT计算开销过大的问题。本文提出一种基于点云(splat-based)的金属伪影抑制框架,将物理上合理的多能前向模型嵌入到锥形束CT的连续高斯表示中。每个高斯点通过紧凑的材料参数化编码底层材料的能量依赖衰减,实现几何与材料属性的高效联合优化,无需依赖金属掩码。该紧凑衰减形式能有效捕捉生物组织与金属植入物之间的关键差异,解释金属引起的非线性效应的同时保留高频结构。在模拟与真实锥形束CT扫描上的实验表明,该方法收敛显著更快,伪影抑制效果优于现有重建与神经场方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

X-ray computed tomography (CT) suffers from severe metal artifacts when high-attenuation objects such as dental fillings or orthopedic implants are present. These artifacts originate from the polychromatic nature of X-rays, where attenuation varies strongly with photon energy and material composition, breaking the monochromatic assumption used by conventional reconstruction algorithms. Recent neural rendering approaches attempt to address this mismatch through differentiable polychromatic projection models, but they still struggle with smoothness bias, loss of fine structures, and prohibitive computation when extended to large-scale cone-beam CT. We introduce a splat-based metal artifact reduction framework that incorporates a physically grounded polychromatic forward model into a continuous Gaussian representation for cone-beam CT. Each Gaussian encodes the energy-dependent attenuation of the underlying material using a compact material parameterization, which enables efficient joint optimization of geometric and material properties without relying on a metal mask. This compact attenuation formulation captures the essential variation across biological tissues and metallic implants, allowing our model to explain metal-induced nonlinearity while preserving high-frequency structure. Experiments on simulated and real cone-beam CT scans show that our method converges significantly faster and suppresses metal artifacts more effectively than existing reconstruction and neural field-based approaches.
