Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction
  • Quantitative CT

Background:

  • Beam hardening artifacts in quantitative myocardial CT perfusion imaging reduce accuracy.
  • Dense bone and high iodinated contrast concentrations cause significant artifacts.
  • Existing methods struggle with accurate CT number quantification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an efficient polyenergetic Simultaneous Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (pSART).
  • To eliminate beam hardening artifacts in quantitative CT perfusion imaging.
  • To enhance the quantitative imaging ability of CT.

Main Methods:

  • Developed pSART algorithm based on material decomposition and region segmentation.
  • Utilized a priori information: base materials, region types, and attenuation values.
  • Implemented iterative reconstruction with accurate polyenergetic projection calculations.

Main Results:

  • pSART completely eliminated beam hardening artifacts in simulations and phantom experiments.
  • Reduced absolute relative errors from [-7.5%, 12.1%] (SART) to [-0.1%, 0.1%] (pSART).
  • Demonstrated improved reconstruction efficiency and quantitative accuracy on clinical CT.

Conclusions:

  • pSART effectively eliminates beam hardening artifacts using a priori information.
  • Enables precise quantitative imaging by reconstructing accurate attenuation coefficients.
  • Accelerates the reconstruction process, improving overall CT imaging efficiency.
