AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing techniques for removing ring artifacts caused by inconsistent detector responses in computed tomography (CT) systems are cumbersome, difficult to adjust hyperparameters, and lack universality. Furthermore, traditional methods increase the manufacturing difficulty and cost of CT systems and may amplify noise in reconstructed images.

Method used

An unsupervised interlayer complementarity enhancement method is adopted, which optimizes the detector response through polynomial compensation coefficients. Combined with the Total Variation (TV) algorithm and Gaussian strided convolution, the gradient of stripe artifacts is extracted using the horizontal differential operator. Iterative optimization is performed to remove ring artifacts, and the artifact removal in the image domain is achieved through an online dual-domain transformation algorithm.

Benefits of technology

It achieves efficient removal of annular artifacts without hyperparameter tuning, is versatile, can run quickly on low-computing-power GPU devices, significantly improves image quality, and is suitable for automated image reconstruction of CT scanners.

Abstract

本发明公开了一种无监督的层间互补性增强的环形伪影移除方法。该发明基于探测器非均匀响应产生环形伪影原理,定义多项式系数补偿方程优化探测器非均匀响应。考虑探测器响应具有随机性,在垂直方向上具有独立性,设计2.5D数据输入格式利用相邻切片间显著的层间信息,并应用TV最小化算法实现层间信息约束,进行初步去环和去噪。在极坐标系中,环形伪影表现为竖直条纹,条纹在水平方向梯度大,设计水平微分算子提取极坐标图像梯度,计算损失,更新补偿系数。该方法无需调整超参数,无需训练图像,去环去噪效果好,完全实现自动化流程。
