研究目的
To reduce computed tomography (CT) scan radiation while ensuring CT image quality by proposing a new low-dose CT super-resolution reconstruction method based on combining a random forest with coupled dictionary learning.
研究成果
The proposed method significantly improves image quality with higher PSNR and SSIM values, reduces noise and artifacts, and can be applied to various medical imaging fields. Future work includes combining with deep learning and using larger databases.
研究不足
The method cannot handle large training sets due to CPU and computer memory limitations, and it is compared only with traditional interpolation methods, not deep learning approaches.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The method involves using a random forest to learn the mapping relationship between low-dose CT (LDCT) and high-dose CT (HDCT) images, followed by coupled dictionary learning for reconstruction. An iterative approach is incorporated to enhance robustness.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Clinical CT images provided by United Imaging company, with 100 LDCT and corresponding HDCT images used as training sets, and non-training set LDCT images for testing.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
MATLAB 2016a software, Ubuntu
4：04 operating system, Intel? CoreTM i5-7500 CPU @ 40 GHz, 0 GB RAM. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Training phase involves generating decision trees and random forests from training data to find mapping functions; testing phase uses input LDCT images with the mapping to reconstruct images via coupled dictionary learning.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Evaluation using peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index measurement (SSIM) metrics.
