A new iterative algorithm, ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM), significantly speeds up cone beam CT (CBCT) reconstruction. This method achieves high-quality images comparable to existing methods but in a fraction of the time, enabling practical clinical use.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computed Tomography
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Cone beam CT (CBCT) provides essential attenuation maps for SPECT compensation and anatomical correlation.
  • Iterative algorithms are crucial for mitigating truncation and 3D reconstruction artifacts in CBCT.
  • Existing transmission maximum-likelihood (TRML) algorithms offer accuracy but suffer from excessive reconstruction times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a faster iterative algorithm for CBCT reconstruction.
  • To compare the performance of the new algorithm against the established TRML method.
  • To assess the clinical feasibility of accelerated CBCT image reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A modified expectation maximization (EM) algorithm incorporating ordered subsets (OSEM) was developed.

  • OSEM was evaluated against TRML using thorax and 3D Defrise phantoms.
  • Image quality metrics including spatial resolution, noise, log likelihood, and artifact removal were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • OSEM achieved image quality comparable to TRML with significantly fewer iterations (one-tenth).
    • Adequate CBCT images were reconstructed in 2-4 iterations (20-30 minutes) on a SPARC 2 workstation.
    • OSEM demonstrated stable likelihood maximization, with divergence only at clinically irrelevant iteration counts.

    Conclusions:

    • Ordered subsets expectation maximization (OSEM) provides a clinically practical solution for accelerated CBCT reconstruction.
    • The OSEM algorithm offers high-quality iterative reconstruction at significantly reduced time requirements.
    • Ordered subsets methodology shows promise for application in other CT geometries and emission CT.
