A Sparse-View CT Reconstruction Method Based on Combination of DenseNet and Deconvolution

Abstract

Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) holds great promise for speeding up data acquisition and reducing radiation dose in CT scans. Recent advances in reconstruction algorithms for sparse-view CT, such as iterative reconstruction algorithms, obtained high-quality image while requiring advanced computing power. Lately, deep learning (DL) has been widely used in various applications and has obtained many remarkable outcomes. In this paper, we propose a new method for sparse-view CT reconstruction based on the DL approach. The method can be divided into two steps. First, filter backprojection (FBP) was used to reconstruct the CT image from sparsely sampled sinogram. Then, the FBP results were fed to a DL neural network, which is a DenseNet and deconvolution-based network (DD-Net). The DD-Net combines the advantages of DenseNet and deconvolution and applies shortcut connections to concatenate DenseNet and deconvolution to accelerate the training speed of the network; all of those operations can greatly increase the depth of network while enhancing the expression ability of the network. After the training, the proposed DD-Net achieved a competitive performance relative to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of streaking artifacts removal and structure preservation. Compared with the other state-of-the-art reconstruction methods, the DD-Net method can increase the structure similarity by up to 18% and reduce the root mean square error by up to 42%. These results indicate that DD-Net has great potential for sparse-view CT image reconstruction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
