Zusammenfassung

In this work, the application of traditional machine learning techniques, in the form of regression models based on conventional, “hand-crafted” features, to streak reduction in limited angle tomography is investigated. Specifically, linear regression (LR), multi-layer perceptron (MLP), and reduced-error pruning tree (REPTree) are investigated. When choosing the mean-variation-median (MVM), Laplacian, and Hessian features, REPTree learns streak artifacts best and reaches the smallest root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 29HU for the Shepp-Logan phantom. Further experiments demonstrate that the MVM and Hessian features complement each other, whereas the Laplacian feature is redundant in the presence of MVM. Preliminary experiments on clinical data suggests that further investigation of clinical applications using REPTree may be worthwhile.
