摘要
Due to the incomplete projection data, the image reconstructed by limited-angle computed tomography (CT) usually suffers from significant artifacts, by which the structural details are heavily blurred. In this study, we aim to develop a novel approach to improve the limited-angle CT reconstruction performance, especially for the narrow scanning angular range.A deep learning based iterative framework for limited-angle tomography is proposed, which is named multi-scale dilated dense reconstruction network (MSDDRNet). The MSDDRNet utilizes a multi-scale dilated dense convolution neural network (MSDD-CNN) with conventional reconstruction algorithm for predicting image from incomplete projection data. The MSDD-CNN enhances the image features in the network by merging the DenseNet-Like structure, which serves to restore invisible singularities and reduce artifacts, as well as introducing constraints on the projection domain data into the iterative process to achieve better image detail recovery. Additionally, to improve the training speed of the network, we use a strategy of pre-training and model migration.Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed MSDDRNet performs well in terms of artifact correction, noise reduction and structure recovery compared to existing methods with limited scan angles, and we also extend the proposed method to more general scanning condition and other application such as dental CT data.The proposed method is a general framework, which can be applied to other CT problems, such as low dose CT, sparse-data CT and spectral CT.
