Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction from X-ray projections acquired within a limited angle range is challenging. Both analytical and conventional iterative methods suffer from severe artifacts due to the incompleteness of sinogram. To obtain high-quality reconstructions from limited angle CT, it is crucial to integrate model-based methods with better learned priors from existing big databases of CT images. Transform learning is an unsupervised data-driven model that has recently shown promise in several medical imaging applications. However, its performance is limited due to the use of hand-crafted penalty terms on the learned transform and sparse coefficients. Inspired by the great success of convolutional neural network, we propose a supervised transform learning method for limited angle CT image reconstruction, where we redesign the conventional unsupervised iterative transform learning algorithm and learn the priors for both sparse coefficients and transform in a supervised manner. Clinical patient data results show that the proposed method significantly improves image quality of reconstructions, compared to a denoising deep convolutional neural network method, FBPConvNet, and a representative iterative neural network method, LEARN.
