Embodiment 1

[0101] figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the PET image reconstruction method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, the reconstruction method includes the following steps:

[0102] S11. Obtain PET projection data Y:

[0103] It should be noted that the PET image reconstruction method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the case where the acquired projection data Y is incomplete projection data. When the injection amount is insufficient or the acquisition time is shortened, the data acquired are incomplete projection data.

[0104] S12. Acquire an initial estimated image according to the PET projection data Y:

[0105]The PET projection data Y is reconstructed by using an analytical reconstruction algorithm commonly used in the field, such as the FBP algorithm, or by using a full-one matrix method to obtain an initial estimated image.

[0106] S13. Obtain an estimated target image according to the ...

Abstract

The invention provides a PET image reconstructing method. The method comprises the steps that PET projection data Y are acquired; an initial estimation image is acquired according to the PET projection data Y; iteration reconstruction is carried out on the initial estimation image to obtain a target estimation image; a target function is established based on total variation sparse conversion and a prior image Xp according to the target estimation image, and the expression of the target function is shown in the specification, wherein the prior image Xp is an image obtained after iteration reconstruction is carried out through the PET projection data Y; the minimum solution of the target function is solved under the constraint condition of A*X=Y, and the minimum solution of the target function is the reconstructed PET target image. By means of the method, the obtained image has clear detail information and high image contrast, and the wide application range of the PICCS algorithm is enlarged in the field of PET image reconstruction. The invention further provides a PET image reconstructing device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical image processing, in particular to a PET image reconstruction method and device. Background technique [0002] When performing PET (Positron Emission Tomograph, Positron Emission Tomography) scanning, if the drug injection dose is low, the count rate is also low, so that the PET image contains noise and artifacts, resulting in poor PET image quality. Low. [0003] For the low-dose PET image reconstruction, in order to eliminate the noise and artifacts in the image, the currently more general PET image reconstruction method is the PICCS (Prior Image Constrained Compressive Sensing) method. The PICCS method removes the noise and artifacts contained in the low-dose image by making the target image gradually approach the prior image in the iterative process, and can inherit the characteristics of the prior image while smoothing the noise. [0004] In the prior art, there are two ways to obta...
