The current method for improving low-dose CT picture quality is broadly divided into two major classes: based on projection space data processing and base In image space data processing.Method based on projection space data processing mainly passes through the school to low-dose CT data for projection Just, restore to restore and denoising is to rebuild and providing more acurrate, the less data for projection of noise, to improve the quality of its reconstruction, such as Adaptive-filtering and bilateral filtering etc..The low dosage picture quality rebuild directly is improved by image space processing technique, Have the advantages that not depending on Raw projection data and processing speed is fast, is carried out usually using nonlinear processing method, it is such as complete to become Poor (Total Variation), small echo (Wavelet) transform method remove artifact by keeping image edge information and make an uproar Sound, however such method has ignored non local property important in image, it is also difficult to achieve the effect that satisfied;For another example it is based on dictionary The rarefaction representation image processing algorithm of study, this method obtain one group of excessively complete dictionary (base) by training, make artifact and make an uproar Sound cannot be indicated preferably, realize the purpose of removal artifact and noise, but handle overlong time.With large data sets, full-page proof Originally universal, deep learning all has received widespread attention in industry and academia, is also gradually applied in CT image domains. If Chen et al. uses a kind of residual coding network, the noise artifacts in CT image are considerably reduced, neoplastic disease is improved Become the discrimination of tissue.
In the prior art, sparse representation method dictionary-based learning has been proved in the processing of low dosage abdominal CT images In there is preferable effect, dosage is in routine dose 1/5th hereinafter, higher picture quality can be obtained.But it is this Method needs to train the high frequency detail image of different directions, and calculation amount is excessive and time-consuming, it is difficult at practical three dimensional medical images It is widely applied in reason system.In order to effectively inhibit three-dimensional artifact and noise, Chinese patent application 2015105909015 proposes one Low-dose CT picture breakdown method of the kind based on three-dimensional distinctiveness character representation, utilizes characteristics dictionary and artifact and noise dictionary The three-dimensional distinctiveness dictionary of composition indicates clinical low-dose CT image, obtain characteristics dictionary expression characteristic image and artifact and The artifact and noise image that noise dictionary indicates can effectively filter out low dosage three to realize the decomposition of low-dose CT image Artifact and noise in Victoria C T image, but this method be easy under the conditions of low dosage in CT image stronger star strip or Blocky artifact is understood as the structural information of image, thus it can not effectively be inhibited, it is tight in low dosage star strip artifact Under conditions of weight, it is easy to introduce blocky artifact in final CT image.
In conclusion star strip puppet cannot be efficiently separated by how overcoming present in existing low-dose CT image processing method The problem of shadow and noise is the problem of urgent need to resolve in the prior art.
