低剂量正电子发射断层扫描(LD-PET)虽降低辐射暴露,但图像质量差,影响诊断信心。现有监督方法在不同剂量间泛化能力差,而剂量无关的监督方法需配对的低-标准剂量数据。当前自监督方法虽更灵活,但结果较差,常丢失解剖细节并过度平滑病灶特征,限制实际应用。为此,我们提出SinoDiff——一种新颖的自监督、物理一致的扩散框架,用于跨多个预设剂量水平的PET sinogram恢复。与传统扩散方法中通过噪声模拟不同,SinoDiff通过泊松稀释将PET采集模型融入前向扩散过程,实现剂量相关计数统计的物理一致性采样/建模。反向扩散过程中,SinoDiff估计从预设剂量水平出发的信号增量变化。因此,SinoDiff为单一统一模型,无需在多个剂量水平上重新训练。为适应PET sinogram特性,我们引入频域卷积以捕捉投影角度与探测器通道间的长程依赖。在[18F]-FDG和[18F]-FDOPA数据集上的实验表明,SinoDiff在多个剂量水平下表现优于或媲美监督与自监督基线方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-dose positron emission tomography (LD-PET) reduces radiation exposure but leads to poor image quality and hinders diagnostic confidence. Existing supervised LD to standard-dose (SD) PET recovery methods often fail to generalise across dose variations, while dose-agnostic supervised methods require paired LD-SD data. Current self-supervised methods, although more flexible, typically produce inferior results, including loss of anatomical details and oversmoothing pathological features. These pose major limitations for practical applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose SinoDiff, a novel self-supervised, physics-consistent diffusion framework for the recovery of PET sinograms across multiple predefined dose levels. Unlike the noise simulation in traditional diffusion methods, SinoDiff integrates the PET acquisition model into the forward diffusion process via Poisson thinning, enabling physically consistent sampling/modelling of dose-dependent count statistics. During the reverse diffusion process, SinoDiff estimates the incremental change in PET signals from predefined dose levels. Therefore, SinoDiff is a single, unified model that requires no retraining across multiple dose levels. To consider the characteristics of PET sinogram, we incorporate a frequency-domain convolution to capture long-range dependencies across projection angles and detector bins. Experiments on [18F]-FDG and [18F]-FDOPA datasets demonstrate that SinoDiff achieves competitive performance against supervised and self-supervised baselines across multiple dose levels.
