DDPM-based CT image metal artifact elimination method

The invention discloses a DDPM-based CT image metal artifact elimination method, and aims to solve the artifact problem caused by a metal object in an existing CT image and improve image quality and diagnosis reliability. A diffusion model of unconditional training is adopted, step-by-step back diffusion repair of an artifact area is carried out in a sinogram domain, an unrepaired area is dynamically adjusted by combining with a metal mask, accurate repair of the artifact area is achieved, and original data of the area which is not affected by artifacts are kept. In the training stage of the system, artifact-free data are gradually converted into standard Gaussian noise through forward diffusion; in the inference stage, data are gradually recovered by utilizing back diffusion, block repair is carried out on an artifact region by combining with a metal mask, and a complete sinogram is generated through region merging. And finally, reconstructing a CT image by using a filtered back projection algorithm, and optimizing boundary transition through a smoothing algorithm to ensure seamless connection between the metal object and surrounding tissues.

Metal artifact reduction algorithm for CT-guided interventional procedures

Metal artifacts are reduced in x-ray computed tomography (“CT”) images using a suitably trained neural network, such as a convolutional neural network (“CNN”). Virtual metal DATA objects are inserted to either the raw projection data or CT image data (e.g., from pre-procedural CT scans) to generate sets of matching artifact-corrupted and artifact-uncorrupted images, and a CNN, or other neural network, is trained to separate the contribution to each image pixel due to patient anatomy, metal object, or metal object-induced artifact. The contributions from metal object-induced artifacts can then be removed to generate a final, artifact-reduced image.
