ABSTRACT
In the process of CT scanning, multi-angle projection data needs to be obtained from a large number of projection actions, which makes the scanned individual bear the risk of high radiation exposure. In order to solve such problems, the use of sparse projection data for CT image reconstruction is proposed as a new type of solution. The previous research can obtain good quality reconstructed images when the projection data is sparse by using the CT reconstruction technology based on the nonlinear sparsity transformation of compressed sensing. However, the heavy time loading of the image reconstruction is a practical problem that needs to be solved urgently. This study optimizes the non-linear filtering process of the regularization term of the original scheme, and proposes a novel method which replaces the original non-linear filter with a low-pass frequency domain filter. This strategy effectively utilizes the properties of low-pass frequency domain filtering in image processing. The excellent properties include high efficiency and low time complexity for image smoothing. The simulation experiment results show that in the process of CT image reconstruction using compressed sensing algorithm, the low-pass frequency domain filtering of the new scheme can greatly reduce the required time in the reconstruction of sparse projection data, and the image quality is feasibly guaranteed.
