[0059] The present application embodiment provides an image reconstruction method, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0060] Step S101, obtaining an original scanned image, wherein the original scanned image is a three-dimensional stereo image;
[0061] In the specific implementation of this step, the target object can be scanned according to predetermined scanning parameters to obtain scan data, and then the scan data can be reconstructed to obtain the original scan image. When setting the scanning parameters, the scanning parameters can be set with the goal of doubling the sampling in the Z direction (along the scanning bed).
[0062] Step S102, performing a first high-frequency component removal process on a first plane of the original scanned image to obtain a processed first image, where the first plane is a sagittal plane or a coronal plane;
[0063] After obtaining the original scanned image, high-frequency components in the sagittal plane or coronal plane can be removed to obtain a first image, which is also a three-dimensional image. Specifically, Z-direction filtering or TV noise reduction can be used to remove high-frequency components in the sagittal or coronal planes.
[0064] Step S103, extracting high-frequency components of a cross section of the original scanned image to obtain target high-frequency components, wherein the target high-frequency components at least include a first high-frequency component corresponding to the first shape surface;
[0065] In this step, when the high-frequency component removal operation is performed on the sagittal plane in step S102, the cross-sectional high-frequency component extraction is performed on the original scanned image to obtain the target high-frequency component, which includes the first high-frequency component corresponding to the sagittal plane; when the high-frequency component removal operation is performed on the coronal plane in step S102, the cross-sectional high-frequency component extraction is performed on the original scanned image to obtain the target high-frequency component, which includes the first high-frequency component corresponding to the coronal plane.
[0066] Step S104 : compensating the first image based on the target high-frequency component to obtain a first target image.
[0067] During the specific implementation of this step, the target high-frequency information can be compensated into the processed image by image fusion, thereby obtaining the target image after removing the windmill artifacts.
[0068] The image reconstruction method in the present application obtains a processed image by removing the high-frequency components of the sagittal or coronal plane of the original three-dimensional scanned image, and then compensates the high-frequency information of the axial image corresponding to the sagittal or coronal plane extracted from the original scanned image to the processed image, thereby obtaining a complete image after removing the windmill artifacts, improving the accuracy of windmill artifact removal, and making the reconstructed image clearer and more complete.
[0069] Another embodiment of the present application provides an image reconstruction method, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0070] Step S201, obtaining an original scanned image, wherein the original scanned image is a three-dimensional image;
[0071] Step S202, performing high-frequency component removal processing on a first plane of the original scanned image to obtain a processed first image, where the first plane is a sagittal plane or a coronal plane;
[0072] Step S203, extracting high-frequency components of a cross section of the original scanned image to obtain target high-frequency components, wherein the target high-frequency components include first high-frequency components corresponding to the first shape surface;
[0073] During the specific implementation of this step, for example, a high-pass filtering method may be used to extract the target high-frequency component, that is, to extract the first high-frequency component corresponding to the first surface.
[0074] Step S204, compensating the first image based on the target high-frequency component to obtain a first target image;
[0075] Step S205: performing a second high-frequency component removal process on a second plane of the first target image to obtain a processed second image, wherein the second plane is a sagittal plane or a coronal plane, and the second plane is different from the first plane;
[0076] Step S206 : Compensating the second image based on the second high-frequency component in the target high-frequency component to obtain a second target image.
[0077] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, the first high-frequency information and the second high-frequency information may be compensated into the processed image by image fusion, thereby obtaining the second target image after removing the windmill artifacts.
[0078] During the specific implementation of this embodiment, after obtaining the original scanned image, the high-frequency component removal processing of the sagittal plane and the high-frequency component removal processing of the coronal plane can also be directly performed on the original scanned image in sequence to obtain a processed image. For example, the high-frequency component removal operation of the sagittal plane is performed on the original scanned image to obtain a first image. Then, the high-frequency component removal operation of the coronal plane is directly performed on the first image to obtain a processed second image, and both the first image and the second image are three-dimensional stereo images. Subsequently, the first high-frequency component and the second high-frequency component in the target high-frequency component are used to perform compensation operations in sequence, thereby obtaining a second target image. In this step, the high-frequency components of the sagittal plane and the coronal plane can be removed by Z-direction filtering or TV noise reduction.
[0079] In this embodiment, the Z-direction filtering method is used to remove the high-frequency components of the sagittal and coronal planes as an example for specific description. The specific process of obtaining the target image is as follows:
[0080] (1) Let I(x,y,z) be the original scanned image, I 矢 (x, y, z) is the first image after removing high-frequency components from the sagittal plane, then I 矢 (x,y,z) can be obtained using the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] Where x' indicates that the dimension x is fixed, u is the image variable, ▽u refers to the image difference, and λ refers to the regularization parameter of the TV method.
[0083] (2)In I 矢 (x, y, z) based on the coronal plane to remove the high-frequency components to obtain the second image I 矢冠 (x,y,z), can be obtained using the following formula:
[0084]
[0085] (3) Extract the target high-frequency component of the axial (coronal) image from the original image I (x, y, z) to obtain the target high-frequency component H including the first high-frequency component and the second high-frequency component 轴 (x,y,z), which can be obtained specifically in the following way:
[0086] H 轴 (x,y,z)=I(x,y,z)-I 轴 (x,y,z)
[0087]
[0088] Among them, I 轴 represents the axial image; u represents the image variable; ▽u represents the difference of the image; λ represents the canonical parameter of the TV method.
[0089] (4) Compensate the axial target high-frequency component to I 矢冠 Get the target image I on (x,y,z) new (x, y, z), the following formula can be used for compensation.
[0090] I new (x,y,z)=I 矢冠 (x,y,z)+H 轴 (x,y,z)
[0091] In the present application, the characteristic of windmill artifacts in the image domain that they appear as low-frequency components in the axial (xy direction) image and as high-frequency components in the sagittal plane (yz direction) and the coronal plane (xz direction) are utilized. The high-frequency components of the sagittal and coronal planes of the original scanned image can be processed to obtain a processed image, and then the high-frequency information of the axial image extracted from the original scanned image is compensated to the processed image, thereby obtaining a complete image after removing the windmill artifacts, thereby improving the accuracy of windmill artifact removal.
[0092] On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to improve the removal effect of windmill artifacts, another embodiment of the present application provides an image reconstruction method, which can be specifically as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0093] Step S301 : determining a target pitch by doubling sampling in the z direction; scanning a target object based on the target pitch to obtain scan data; and reconstructing an image based on the scan data to obtain an original scan image.
[0094] In this step, the z direction refers to the direction along the length of the scanning bed. When determining the pitch, the following method can be used to obtain it: obtain the total number of detection units in the detector; determine the target number of movement layers; the target number of movement layers is the number of layers that the scanning bed moves relative to the detector during one scan; based on the total number of detection units in the detector and the target number of movement layers, use a predetermined calculation formula to calculate the target pitch. The predetermined calculation formula is: Where P represents the target pitch; m represents the number of target moving layers; and N represents the total number of detection units in the detector.
[0095] In this step, the z-direction sampling is doubled to achieve the z-direction sampling of the current scan and the opposite scan in the spiral scan, which is exactly crossed / alternated (i.e., the scanning boundaries of the current scan and the opposite scan overlap in the z-direction sampling. This overlap can be expressed as actual overlap, or the distance difference is within 200 microns). This achieves the effect of doubling the z-direction sampling. θ for:
[0096]
[0097] Therefore, in order to achieve detector sampling doubling through the opposite side, the following relationship needs to be satisfied:
[0098]
[0099] Where m = 0, 1, …, (N-1) / 2; m represents the number of layers the scanning bed moves relative to the detector during one scan; θ represents the rotation angle; p represents the pitch; T represents the distance between two adjacent detection units; N represents the total number of detection units; and R represents the distance from the light source to the rotation center.
[0100] Therefore, when the pitch satisfies the following relationship, the z-direction sampling can be doubled.
[0101]
[0102] In this step, N=16, m=4, and then the target pitch is calculated. After scanning with the target pitch, the following can be obtained: Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the z-direction sampling distribution shown. Figure 3 In the figure, the dots “●”, “ο” and “*” represent the sampling in the z direction (θ-π, θ, θ+π) respectively.
[0103] Step S302, performing a first high-frequency component removal process on a first plane of the original scanned image to obtain a processed first image; the first plane is a sagittal plane or a coronal plane;
[0104] Step S303, extracting high-frequency components of the cross section of the original scanned image to obtain target high-frequency components; the target high-frequency components at least include a first high-frequency component corresponding to the first surface;
[0105] Step S304, compensating the first image based on the target high-frequency component to obtain a first target image;
[0106] Step S305: performing a second high-frequency component removal process on a second plane of the first target image to obtain a processed second image, wherein the second plane is a sagittal plane or a coronal plane, and the second plane is different from the first plane;
[0107] Step S306, compensating the second image based on the second high-frequency component in the target high-frequency component to obtain a second target image;
[0108] In this step, the second high-frequency component is a high-frequency component corresponding to the second shape surface.
[0109] In this application, windmill artifacts are removed by combining a data acquisition method with an image domain. The data acquisition method mainly refers to doubling the sampling in the z direction by selecting appropriate scanning parameters, thereby reducing some windmill artifacts. The image domain method mainly uses the characteristics of windmill artifacts that appear as low-frequency components in the axial (xy direction) image and as high-frequency components in the sagittal plane (yz direction) and coronal plane (xz direction) to remove them. That is, by combining the two, windmill artifacts can be removed more accurately, while maintaining the image resolution unchanged, making the effect of removing windmill artifacts more ideal, and thus making the reconstructed image clearer. For details, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 The comparison between a and b is before and after removing the windmill artifact. Figure 6 The positions pointed by arrows / circled in a, 7a, 8a, and 9a represent windmill artifacts that have not been removed.
