A residual dense network assisted sparse view reconstruction for breast computed tomography
抄録
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>To develop and investigate a deep learning approach that uses sparse-view acquisition in dedicated breast computed tomography for radiation dose reduction, we propose a framework that combines 3D sparse-view cone-beam acquisition with a multi-slice residual dense network (MS-RDN) reconstruction. Projection datasets (300 views, full-scan) from 34 women were reconstructed using the FDK algorithm and served as reference. Sparse-view (100 views, full-scan) projection data were reconstructed using the FDK algorithm. The proposed MS-RDN uses the sparse-view and reference FDK reconstructions as input and label, respectively. Our MS-RDN evaluated with respect to fully sampled FDK reference yields superior performance, quantitatively and visually, compared to conventional compressed sensing methods and state-of-the-art deep learning based methods. The proposed deep learning driven framework can potentially enable low dose breast CT imaging.</jats:p>
