Definitions
- the following generally relates to projection data processing and more particularly to projection domain de-noising of projection data with an anti-correlation filter that includes a regularization term with sub-terms for each basis material and corresponding scaling factors, and is described with particular application to spectral (i.e., multi-energy) computed tomography (CT).
- CT computed tomography
- a CT scanner includes an x-ray tube that emits radiation that traverses an examination region and an object therein.
- a detector array located opposite the examination region across from the x-ray tube detects radiation that traverses the examination region and the object therein and generates projection data indicative of the examination region and the object therein.
- a reconstructor processes the projection data and reconstructs volumetric image data indicative of the examination region and the object therein.
- multiple projection data sets are acquired, which represent the attenuation properties of the scanned object for different X-ray spectra.
- the multiple sets can be acquired through kVp switching, dual layer detectors, counting detectors, and/or otherwise.
- physical object properties can be determined locally (e.g., photo effect, Compton scattering, water content, bone content, iodine content, etc.). The determination of these properties is called material decomposition.
- the material decomposition is performed by converting the measured line integrals for each ray into basis material line integrals.
- the basis material line integrals are then reconstructed to generate basis material images.
- the noise of the measured projection data tends to be strongly magnified, and the magnified noise is highly anti-correlated for the different material line integrals of one acquisition ray.
- the anti-correlated noise can lead to streak artifacts, and images directly reconstructed from the basis material line integrals tend to be very noisy due to the noise amplification, reducing their clinical value.
- An anti-correlation filter can be used to filter the anti-correlated noise.
- ACF anti-correlation filter
- This application describes an approach in which anti-correlated noise in spectral basis material line integrals is reduced through an anti-correlation filter that includes a regularization term with sub-terms for each basis material and corresponding scaling factors, wherein the scaling factors balance the effect of each sub-term, mitigating crosswalk between tissue boundaries, which may be present without such balancing.
- a method includes receiving at least two sets of noisy basis material line integrals, each set corresponding to a different basis material and filtering the at least two sets of noisy basis material line integrals with an anti-correlation filter that at least includes a regularization term with balancing regularization factors, thereby producing de-noised basis material line integrals.
- an imaging system in another aspect, includes a projection data processor with an anti-correlation filter.
- the anti-correlation filter filters at least two sets of noisy basis material line integrals, each set corresponding to a different basis material, thereby producing de-noised basis material line integrals.
- the anti-correlation filter includes a regularization term with regularization balancing factors,
- computer readable instructions are encoded on computer readable storage medium, which, when executed by a processor of a computing system, cause the processor to: receive at least two sets of noisy basis material line integrals, each set corresponding to a different basis material and filter the at least two sets of noisy basis material line integrals with an anti-correlation filter that at least includes a regularization term with balancing regularization factors, thereby producing de-noised basis material line integrals.
- the invention may take form in various components and arrangements of components, and in various steps and arrangements of steps.
- the drawings are only for purposes of illustrating the preferred embodiments and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.

- FIGURE 5 illustrates an example method for de-noising projection data with an anti-correlation filter with a regularized maximum likelihood algorithm that includes regularization sub-term balancing scaling factors.
- an imaging system 100 such as a computed tomography (CT) scanner, is schematically illustrated.
- the imaging system 100 includes a generally stationary gantry 102 and a rotating gantry 104.
- the rotating gantry 104 is rotatably supported by the stationary gantry 102 and rotates around an examination region 106 about a longitudinal or z-axis.
- a radiation source 108 such as an x-ray tube, is rotatably supported by the rotating gantry 104.
- the radiation source 108 rotates with the rotating gantry 104 and emits radiation that traverses the examination region 106.
- a source collimator 110 includes collimation members that collimate the radiation to form a generally cone, wedge, fan or other shaped radiation beam.
- a radiation sensitive detector array 112 subtends an angular arc opposite the radiation source 108 across the examination region 106.
- the detector array 112 includes one or more rows of detectors that extend along the z-axis direction.
- the detector array 112 detects radiation traversing the examination region 106 and generates projection data (or measured line integrals) indicative thereof.
- the projection data is spectral projection data and includes at least two sub-sets of projection data, each representing attenuation properties of the scanned object for different X-ray spectra.
- Such projection data can be obtained where the detector array 112 includes a photon counting detector and/or a multi-layer spectral detector, and/or the radiation source 108 is configured to switch between at least two different energy spectrums during a scan.
- a spectral decomposer 114 decomposes the spectral projection data generated by the radiation sensitive detector array 112, producing decomposed spectral projection data, or basis material line integrals.
- the decomposition can be based on two or more basis materials such as the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, water content, bone content, iodine content, a k-edge, and/or other basis material(s).
- a projection data processor 116 processes the decomposed spectral projection data.
- the illustrated projection data processor 116 includes at least an anti-correlation filter (ACF) 118.
- the ACF 118 at least filters anti-correlated noise from the decomposed spectral projection data. This includes filtering the anti-correlated noise using an iterative statistical model.
- An example of a suitable anti-correlation filter 118 includes a regularized maximum likelihood filter that includes a data term and a regularization term.
- the regularization term includes two or more sub-terms, one for each basis material, and corresponding balancing scaling factors, which mitigate crosstalk at the tissue- air boundaries.
- a reconstructor 120 reconstructs the de-noised decomposed projection data and generates volumetric image data indicative thereof, including material basis volumetric image data.
- a patient support 122 such as a couch, supports an object or subject such as a human patient in the examination region 106.
- a computing system or computer serves as an operator console 124, which allows an operator to control an operation of the system 100, such as selecting and/or activating at least a projection domain de-noising algorithm.
- the projection data processor 116 is a separate device with respect to the console 124.
- the projection data processor 116 can be part of a computing system such as a dedicated computer and/or other computing system.
- the projection data processor 116 is part of the console 124.
- the projection data processor 116 can be implemented via a processor (e.g., a microprocessor, a central processing unit or CPU, or the like) executing computer readable instructions stored on computer readable storage medium such as physical memory (and excluding non- transitory medium).
- the processor can also execute instructions carried by a carrier wave, signal or other transitory medium.
- FIGURE 2 illustrates a non-limiting example of the anti-correlation filter 118.
- the anti-correlation filter 118 receives, as input, the decomposed or basis material line integrals m and m l where i is an acquired ray index, and outputs de-noised decomposed projection data (basis material line integrals).
- a log likelihood determiner 202 processes data based on a regularized maximum likelihood algorithm, generating the de-noised decomposed projection data.
- An example of a suitable regularized maximum likelihood is shown in EQUATION 1 : EQUATION 1 : i ⁇ -iX(m i - m i C i - 1 (m i - m i )- ⁇ ⁇ R h 2 + R 2l 2 ,
- the first term is a data term, describing the probability that the de-noised material line integrals belong to the noisy material line integrals given known variances and covariances.
- the second term is a regularization term that represents a-priori information about the "true" set of material line integrals.
- EQUATION 1 is implemented by an iterative optimization until the de-noised material line integrals that most probably belong to the noisy material line integrals are identified.
- a basis material line integral variance determiner 204 processes the received basis material line integrals mu and m 2 i and generates basis material line integral variances var(mu) and var(m i ) and covariances cov(mu,m i ).
- a basis material covariance matrix determiner 206 determines the covariance matrix C ; , based on the basis material line integral variances var(mu) and var(m i ) and the basis material line integral covariances cov(mu,m i ). For example, the covariance matrix C ; can be determined as shown in EQUATION 2:
- the priors are smoothed with a potential function ⁇ .
- the potential function evaluates, for each measured ray / ' , the difference of the material line integral value to the values of a number of neighboring rays k, where M1 ⁇ 4 are weighting factors.
- the result will be a smoothing of the edge in one material data set and an enhancement of the same edge in the other material data set, such that, in sum, the regularization terms have a more optimal value as compared to do no smoothing at the edge. This is an unwanted behavior leading to image artifacts, which reduce the clinical value of the images.
- EQUATIONS 5 and 6 show regularization terms Ru and R 2; that are respectively balanced via scaling terms fu and / 2/ - such that any attempt by the regularization terms to smooth both edges is not influenced by an attempt of the data term to allow only changes that are in accordance with the anti-correlation of both material data sets:
- the scaling terms fu and f 2i balance the regularization terms Ri ; and R 2; such that crosstalk at tissue-air boundaries is reduced, relative to the regularization terms Ri ; and R 2; of
- FIGURE 3 shows an example image generated from projection data filtered with a regularized anti-correlation filter without sub-term balancing (e.g., EQUATIONS 3 and 4). Regions 302 identify artificial dark regions at the boundaries of the lungs, the trachea and the body.
- FIGURE 4 shows an example image generated from projection data processed with EQUATION 1, using the regularization sub-terms of EQUATIONS 5 and 6 with balancing. The artifacts in FIGURE 4 are reduced in regions 402 relative to the artifacts in the regions 302 of FIGURE 3.
- fu and f 2i are determined such that they satisfy predetermined criteria.
- the material line integral values mu and m i drop from finite values to zero for both materials.
- An aim of the regularization terms is to get both finite values closer to zero at the edge, leading to an intended change which is in line with the direction of the vector (-m , -m 2 i).
- An aim of the data term is to allow only changes which are in accordance with the noise correlation between the two values mu and m 2 i.
- the direction of preferred changes is given by vector (sqrt(var(wi ; )), - sqrt(var(w 2 /))) if the correlation is close to -1.
- FIGURE 5 illustrates an example method for de-noising projection data with an anti-correlation filter with regularization balancing.
- a set of noisy basis material line integrals from a spectral scan are obtained.
- the regularized maximum likelihood algorithm is optimized, producing de-noised basis material line integrals.
- this includes implementing an iterative optimization to identify de-noised basis material line integrals with a relatively highest probability of belonging to the noisy material line integrals.
- the de-noised basis material line integrals are reconstructed, producing volumetric image data, including basis material volumetric image data.
- the above methods may be implemented by way of computer readable instructions, encoded or embedded on computer readable storage medium, which, when executed by a computer processor(s), cause the processor(s) to carry out the described acts. Additionally, or alternatively, at least one of the computer readable instructions is carried by a signal, carrier wave or other transitory medium.
