Iterative reconstruction for dual energy CT with an average image-induced nonlocal means regularization.

Abstract：

:Reducing radiation dose in dual energy computed tomography (DECT) is highly desirable but it may lead to excessive noise in the filtered backprojection (FBP) reconstructed DECT images, which can inevitably increase the diagnostic uncertainty. To obtain clinically acceptable DECT images from low-mAs acquisitions, in this work we develop a novel scheme based on measurement of DECT data. In this scheme, inspired by the success of edge-preserving non-local means (NLM) filtering in CT imaging and the intrinsic characteristics underlying DECT images, i.e. global correlation and non-local similarity, an averaged image induced NLM-based (aviNLM) regularization is incorporated into the penalized weighted least-squares (PWLS) framework. Specifically, the presented NLM-based regularization is designed by averaging the acquired DECT images, which takes the image similarity within the two energies into consideration. In addition, the weighted least-squares term takes into account DECT data-dependent variance. For simplicity, the presented scheme was termed as 'PWLS-aviNLM'. The performance of the presented PWLS-aviNLM algorithm was validated and evaluated on digital phantom, physical phantom and patient data. The extensive experiments validated that the presented PWLS-aviNLM algorithm outperforms the FBP, PWLS-TV and PWLS-NLM algorithms quantitatively. More importantly, it delivers the best qualitative results with the finest details and the fewest noise-induced artifacts, due to the aviNLM regularization learned from DECT images. This study demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of the presented PWLS-aviNLM algorithm to improve the DECT reconstruction and resulting material decomposition.
