Title
A Simple but Effective Denoising Algorithm in Projection Domain of CBCT.
Abstract
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.
