低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)测量包含混合泊松-高斯噪声。然而,大多数自监督方法依赖通用图像统计特性,未显式建模该噪声,可能限制其有效抑制真实LDCT噪声的能力。为此,我们提出一种基于物理模型的跨域迭代自监督LDCT去噪框架。首先,利用学习得到的投影图先验和LDCT噪声模型,推断光子计数,实现泊松与高斯噪声成分的分离。其次,分别对两类噪声进行二项式稀释和高斯数据稀释,构建两个分支,通过残差缩放使各分支噪声水平匹配观测值,从而从单一低剂量测量中生成具有近似独立噪声实现的训练对。最后,该训练对用于训练图像域网络,其正向投影输出用于更新先验。通过跨域迭代,先验与训练对逐步优化,同时保持与CT采集物理的一致性。在AAPM、LIDC-IDRI和LoDoPaB-CT模拟数据及真实LDCT数据上的实验表明,该方法在不同剂量水平下均持续优于对比的自监督基线,性能接近所评估的有监督基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) measurements contain mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise. However, most self-supervised methods rely on generic image statistics and do not explicitly model this noise, which may limit their ability to effectively suppress realistic LDCT noise. To address this issue, we propose a physics-driven framework with cross-domain iteration for self-supervised LDCT denoising. The proposed framework proceeds in three main steps. First, a learned sinogram prior and the LDCT noise model guide posterior inference of photon counts, enabling separation of the Poisson and Gaussian components. Second, the separated Poisson and Gaussian components are respectively processed by binomial thinning and Gaussian data thinning to construct two branches, and residual scaling matches each branch's noise level to that of the observation, yielding a training pair with approximately independent noise realizations from one low-dose measurement. Finally, the pair is used to train an image-domain network whose forward-projected outputs update the prior. Through cross-domain iteration, the prior and the training pair are progressively refined while maintaining consistency with CT acquisition physics. Experiments on simulated data from AAPM, LIDC-IDRI, and LoDoPaB-CT and on real LDCT data show consistent gains over the evaluated self-supervised baselines across dose levels, with performance comparable to the evaluated supervised baseline.
