Description

A kind of output method carrying out blood flow parameter image under low radiation dose
Technical field
It is of the present invention to realize medical method technical field using computer, and in particular to a kind of to reduce existing radiation Dosage is to the method for obtaining same high quality blood flow dynamic parametric image in the case of 1/10.
Background technology
CT perfusions are to solve the most-often used medical image method of cranial vascular disease, especially cerebral apoplexy patient for diagnosing And treatment means, however the sampling of continuous brain CT images is carried out to obtain blood flow multidate information in the prior art, this is adopted When sample, the big of common thoracic cavity X scannings or static state is equivalent to using the dose of radiation of the cerebral apoplexy image scheme including CTP 8-9 times of the dose of radiation of brain, abdominal cavity CT.Cerebral apoplexy patient needs Multiple-Scan CTP, the dose of radiation of accumulation that can destroy health Cell increases the risk of cancer.
The radiation agent quantifier elimination for reducing CT perfusions attracted attention since 2000.It reduces dose of radiation and drop may be used Improvement on the sample modes such as low tube current, tube voltage, sample frequency, and it is most directly effectively and common wherein to reduce tube current Reduction dose of radiation method because tube current is directly proportional to dose of radiation, however reduction tube current also can not avoid ground Increase the noise and artifact in data, reduces the quality of image.
There are two bases to blood flow dynamic parametric image is calculated by the sinogram obtained from image documentation equipment in CT perfusions This step.The first step:The reconstruction of image from sinogram to CT;Second step:From CT reconstruction images sequence to blood flow parameter image Calculating, i.e. the process of deconvolution.
In order to reduce the noise and artifact in blood flow dynamic image, the accurate fixed of blood flow parameter is improved, initial method is Including reduction mainly using the filtering in room and time dimension, scanning slice thickness is improved, but can be to reduce spatial resolution For cost.The algorithm of space filtering was widely used in a variety of applications in recent years, including low-frequency filter, holding edge filter device (edge-preserving filters), such as anisotropic filtering (anisotropic diffusion) (Saito et Al.2008), two-sided filter (bilateral filtering) (Mendrik et al.2011), non-local average (non- Local means) (Ma et al.2012), total variance constraint (total variation regularization) (Tian Et al.2011), spatio-temporal filtering, the methods of such as high constraint rear-projection (HYPR), multiband filtering (MBF), can be used for reducing from Noise in the Time-space serial CT perfusion images rebuild in sinogram and artifact.However only reduce the noise of reconstruction image simultaneously Stability Calculation blood flow dynamic parametric image can not be solved the problems, such as from principle.
The process of blood flow parameter image is calculated from the Time-space serial of CTP, most widely used method is deconvolution (deconvolution).However deconvolution is the ill-posed problem in an image, that is, solution that is unique and stablizing is not present, And the dynamic blood flow parameter image being calculated by deconvolution in the Time-space serial image that low radiation dose collects is special It is unstable and inaccurate.The Deconvolution Method of Model Independent is can relatively accurately to calculate different vascular morphologies, especially Be Eigenvalues Decomposition method (Singular Value Decomposition, SVD) (Weisskoff,et al.1996;Sorensen, et al.1996) and its extension, as cycle specificity value decomposes (block- circulant SVD)(Wu et al.2003).However these methods are independently calculated both for each voxel (voxel), Therefore unstability is stronger, and calculating application condition is big, and it is more stable to provide can not to effectively utilize the contextual information of image Blood flow parameter.

Specific implementation mode
In the prior art, closest the technical scheme is that:A. it is based on study high dose blood flow dynamics Parameter Map The sparse warp area method (Fang et al.2013) of picture.The method is mainly by the method for dictionary learning and sparse coding, from big Measure high dose of radiation, high quality blood flow dynamics Parameter Map in study have characteristic dictionary, then use sparse coding Method rebuild the image segments in low radiation dose.The method that Gai methods use machine learning and data mining, from existing Medical image in learn structural information, for reducing the dose of radiation of CTP, improve the accuracy of blood flow parameter figure.(Fang Et al.2013) for learning structural information from the blood flow parameter figure of the high dose of radiation of different patients, and have ignored brain soldier The non-comparison development CT (Non-contrast CT) and CT angiographies (CT of this patient oneself in middle diagnosis imaging scheme Angiography, CTA) in include patient oneself brain structure and functional information.B. retained using pre-development image Brain CT perfusion iterative image reconstruction (Ma et al.2012) the method for the priori at edge is by using developer The non-development static state CT images of a high quality are first obtained before brain CT perfusion images to provide priori, and combine non- The average method in ground come improve CTP be in Time-space serial each single frames rebuild quality.This method uses the same patient's Non- development still image enhances the accuracy of blood flow parameter image.For the Problems of Reconstruction rather than Parameter Estimation Problem of CTP, The instability of blood flow dynamics parameter computation model is not solved fundamentally.
Existing method also exists as follows defect:A. (Fang et al.2013) is only from the cerebral blood flow of different patients Learn structural information in dynamics parametric image, and has ignored the patient of low radiation dose image itself in cerebral apoplexy image scheme In the non-comparison CT that has to scan through and angiography CTA.B. (Ma et al.2012) is directed to the reconstruction of each frame of CTP images, Rather than it improves the stability for the deconvolution process that blood flow parameter image calculates and accurately determines.Even if the Time-space serial figure in CT perfusions As having obtained preferable centre, instability and uncertain problem existing for blood flow dynamics parametric image itself are calculated still The error that blood flow can be caused to calculate.
