There are growing concerns on the potential side effect of radiation, which could be decreased by lowering the tube current. However, this manner will lead to a degraded image since X-ray imaging is a quantum accumulation process. Great efforts have been devoted to alleviate this problem. In this paper, a simple Wiener filter was employed to denoise projection data in detector domain. And then an enhancement filter was exploited to strengthen small structures. As a consequence, this combination leaded to a reconstruction with good trade-off between noise and resolution. For the purpose of comparison, block-matching and 3D/4D denoising algorithm (BM3D/BM4D) were also adopted to denoise the projections. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed algorithm could deliver a reconstruction with comparable quality as BM4D algorithm while better than that of BM3D denoising algorithm. Note that the propose algorithm has a much higher computation efficiency than BM3D/BM4D, and hence provides an insight into the clinical utility where real time is of high importance. |
