A sinogram denoising algorithm for low-dose computed tomography
BACKGROUND From the viewpoint of the patients' health, reducing the radiation dose in computed tomography (CT) is highly desirable. However, projection measurements acquired under low-dose conditions will contain much noise. Therefore, reconstruction of high-quality images from low-dose scans requires effective denoising of the projection measurements. METHODS We propose a denoising algorithm...
متن کاملSR-NLM: A sinogram restoration induced non-local means image filtering for low-dose computed tomography
Radiation dose has raised significant concerns to patients and operators in modern X-ray computed tomography (CT) examinations. A simple and cost-effective means to perform a low-dose CT scan is to lower the milliampere-seconds (mAs) as low as reasonably achievable in data acquisition. However, the associated image quality with lower-mAs scans (or low-dose scans) will be unavoidably degraded du...
متن کاملLow-Dose Dual-Energy Computed Tomography for PET Attenuation Correction with Statistical Sinogram Restoration
Dual-energy (DE) X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been proposed as an useful tool in various applications. One promising application is DECT with low radiation doses used for attenuation correction in positron emission tomography (PET). In low-dose DECT, conventional methods for sinogram decomposition have been based on logarithmic transformations and ignored noise properties, leading to very...
متن کاملSNR-weighted Sinogram Smoothing with Improved Noise-resolution Properties for Low-dose X-ray Computed Tomography
To treat the noise in low-dose x-ray CT projection data more accurately, analysis of the noise properties of the data and development of a corresponding efficient noise treatment method are two major problems to be addressed. In order to obtain an accurate and realistic model to describe the x-ray CT system, we acquired thousands of repeated measurements on different phantoms at several fixed s...
متن کاملNoise Estimation for Single-Slice Sinogram of Low-Dose X-Ray Computed Tomography Using Homogenous Patch
We present a new method to estimate noise for a single-slice sinogram of low-dose CT based on the homogenous patches centered at a special pixel, called center point, which has the smallest variance among all sinogram pixels. The homogenous patch, composed by homogenous points, is formed by the points similar to the center point using similarity sorting, similarity decreasing searching, and var...
