Image Domain Multi-Material Decomposition Noise Suppression Through Basis Transformation and Selective Filtering
Spectral CT can provide material characterization ability to offer more precise material information for diagnosis purposes. However, the material decomposition process generally leads to amplification of noise which significantly limits the utility of the material basis images. To mitigate such problem, an image domain noise suppression method was proposed in this work. The method performs basis transformation of the material basis images based on a singular value decomposition. The noise variances of the original spectral CT images were incorporated in the matrix to be decomposed to ensure that the transformed basis images are statistically uncorrelated. Due to the difference in noise amplitudes in the transformed basis images, a selective filtering method was proposed with the low-noise transformed basis image as guidance. The method was evaluated using both numerical simulation and real clinical dual-energy CT data. Results demonstrated that compared with existing methods, the proposed method performs better in preserving the spatial resolution and the soft tissue contrast while suppressing the image noise. The proposed method is also computationally efficient and can realize real-time noise suppression for clinical spectral CT images.
