The invention belongs to the field of CT
image processing, and particularly relates to a CT image
reconstruction method based on a three-dimensional
diffusion model and a related device.The method comprises the steps that a medical CT
scanner is adopted to obtain three-dimensional CT
voxel data, and the three-dimensional CT
voxel data is preprocessed; extracting a medical object
surface point cloud from the preprocessed three-dimensional CT
voxel data by adopting a voxel-level
reconstruction algorithm, and generating three-dimensional sparse
point cloud data;
processing the three-dimensional sparse
point cloud data by adopting a 3D
Gaussian splashing technology, and converting the three-dimensional sparse
point cloud data into three-dimensional
Gaussian distribution data by using a pre-trained three-dimensional
Gaussian kernel; gradually adding
Gaussian noise to the three-dimensional Gaussian distribution data by adopting a three-dimensional
diffusion model, and gradually removing the
Gaussian noise to generate reconstructed three-dimensional Gaussian distribution data; and projecting the reconstructed three-dimensional Gaussian distribution data to a two-dimensional plane by adopting a rendering technology to generate a two-dimensional CT reconstructed image. According to the method, the advantages of the 3D Gaussian splashing technology and the three-dimensional
diffusion model are combined, efficient, real-time and denoising medical image reconstruction can be achieved under the low-
dose CT imaging condition, and meanwhile the problem of white floater artifacts possibly occurring in the reconstruction process is effectively solved.
