Abstract

The invention discloses a CT image enhancement method and device based on global consistency optimization, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the Gaussian fitting based on the pixel intensity distribution of a low-dose CT image, and obtaining a fitting result containing a plurality of types of Gaussian distribution components; calculating the category probability that each pixel intensity belongs to each Gaussian distribution component pixel by pixel based on the fitting result, and distributing a pixel label for each pixel; constructing a global optimization objective function containing the consistency constraint of adjacent pixel tags, adjusting the pixel tags through iterative optimization to maximize the objective function, and obtaining optimized pixel tags; and according to the mean value of the Gaussian distribution component corresponding to each optimized pixel label, carrying out adaptive deviation reduction processing of reducing the intensity value of each pixel to the mean value, and generating an enhanced CT image. According to the invention, noise suppression and detail maintenance can be realized at the same time under the condition of low radiation dose, and the method is suitable for industrial nondestructive testing, medical diagnosis, high-resolution microscopic imaging and other scenes.
