Data-Driven Affine Deformation Estimation and Correction in Cone Beam Computed Tomography.
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing : a Publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society 2017 March
In computed tomography (CT), motion and deformation during the acquisition lead to streak artefacts and blurring in the reconstructed images. To remedy these artefacts, we introduce an efficient algorithm to estimate and correct for global affine deformations directly on the cone beam projections. The proposed technique is data driven and thus removes the need for markers and/or a tracking system. A relationship between affine transformations and the cone beam transform is proved and used to correct the projections. The deformation parameters that describe deformation perpendicular to the projection direction are estimated for each projection by minimizing a plane-based inconsistency criterion. The criterion compares each projection of the main scan with all projections of a fast reference scan, which is acquired prior or posterior to the main scan. Experiments with simulated and experimental data show that the proposed affine deformation estimation method is able to substantially reduce motion artefacts in cone beam CT images.
