摘要:

目得:我们开发了一种实用的,迭代算法的图像重建欠采样断层摄影系统,如数字乳腺断层合成(DBT)。实验方法:该算法通过最小化图像总$p$ -变化(TpV)来控制图像规则性,该函数在$p=1.0$时减小到总变化,或者在$p=2.0$时减小到图像粗糙度。图像上的约束,如图像的积极性和估计的投影数据的公差,是强制执行的凸集投影(POCS)。断层摄影系统被欠采样的事实转化为许多广泛变化的结果体积可以对应于给定数据容差的数学性质。因此,图像规则性的应用服务于两个目的:(1)通过固定数据容差,找到固定数据容差的最小图像TpV,来减少所得到的体积的数量,以及(2)传统的规则化,牺牲数据保真度以获得更高的图像规则性。本算法允许在欠采样层析成像中图像规律性的这种双重作用。结果:所提出的图像重建算法适用于三个临床DBT数据集。DBT病例包括1例微钙化和2例肿块。结论:结果表明,使用本图像重建算法进行微钙化成像可能有很大的优势。

英文摘要:

PURPOSE: We develop a practical, iterative algorithm for image-reconstruction in under-sampled tomographic systems, such as digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). METHOD: The algorithm controls image regularity by minimizing the image total $p$-variation (TpV), a function that reduces to the total variation when $p=1.0$ or the image roughness when $p=2.0$. Constraints on the image, such as image positivity and estimated projection-data tolerance, are enforced by projection onto convex sets (POCS). The fact that the tomographic system is under-sampled translates to the mathematical property that many widely varied resultant volumes may correspond to a given data tolerance. Thus the application of image regularity serves two purposes: (1) reduction of the number of resultant volumes out of those allowed by fixing the data tolerance, finding the minimum image TpV for fixed data tolerance, and (2) traditional regularization, sacrificing data fidelity for higher image regularity. The present algorithm allows for this dual role of image regularity in under-sampled tomography. RESULTS: The proposed image-reconstruction algorithm is applied to three clinical DBT data sets. The DBT cases include one with microcalcifications and two with masses. CONCLUSION: Results indicate that there may be a substantial advantage in using the present image-reconstruction algorithm for microcalcification imaging.
