Abstract
- The wide applications of X-ray computed tomography (CT) bring low-dose CT (LDCT) into a clinical prerequisite, but reducing the radiation exposure in CT often leads to significantly increased noise and artifacts, which might lower the judgment accuracy of radiologists. In this paper, we put forward a domain progressive 3D residual convolution network (DP-ResNet) for the LDCT imaging procedure that contains three stages: sinogram domain network (SD-net), filtered back projection (FBP), and image domain network (ID-net). Though both are based on the residual network structure, the SD-net and ID-net provide complementary effect on improving the final LDCT quality. The experimental results with both simulated and real projection data show that this domain progressive deep-learning network achieves significantly improved performance by combing the network processing in the two domains.
