Low dose computed tomography (CT) has drawn much attention in the medical imaging field because of its ability to reduce the radiation dose. Recently, statistical iterative reconstruction (SIR) with total variation (TV) penalty has been developed to low dose CT image reconstruction. Nevertheless, the TV penalty has the drawback of creating blocky effects in the reconstructed images. To overcome the limitations of TV, in this paper we firstly introduce the structure tensor total variation (STV1) penalty into SIR framework for low dose CT image reconstruction. Then, an accelerated fast iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (AFISTA) is developed to minimize the objective function. The proposed AFISTA reconstruction algorithm was evaluated using numerical simulated low dose projection based on two CT images and realistic low dose projection data of a sheep lung CT perfusion. The experimental results demonstrated that our proposed STV1-based algorithm outperform FBP and TV-based algorithm in terms of removing noise and restraining blocky effects. |
