    The Impact of Deep Learning Reconstruction Algorithm Combined with Ultra-high Resolution Detector on Orbital CT Image Quality

    • 摘要: 目的:本研究旨在探索 0.3125 mm 超高分辨力探测器联合ClearInfinity(CI)深度学习重建算法对眼眶CT图像质量的影响。方法:采用NeuViz Epoch Elite CT机,对Catphan 600模体及3只7岁猕猴进行扫描,设置准直宽度64×0.625 mm与128×0.3125 mm,分别采用滤波反投影(FBP)、60%自适应迭代重建算法ClearView(CV)及60%深度学习重建算法CI获取图像,通过调制传递函数(MTF)、对比噪声比(CNR)等客观指标及双盲法主观评分评估图像质量,并进行统计学分析。结果:模体实验中,标准算法与骨算法下,准直宽度128×0.3125 mm图像的MTF50%、MTF10%及CNR部分指标显著优于64×0.625 mm;CI算法图像的CNR显著优于FBP和CV算法。动物实验中,准直宽度128×0.3125 mm图像中内直肌的CNR显著高于64×0.625 mm,CI算法下内直肌与眼球的CNR及主观评分均最优,且两位医师主观评分一致性好(Kappa≥0.75)。结论:0.3125 mm超高分辨力探测器联合深度学习算法可显著提升眼眶CT图像的分辨力、对比度,减少噪声与伪影,具有良好的临床应用前景。

       

      Abstract: Objective: This study investigates the effect of a 0.3125 mm ultra-high-resolution detector combined with a ClearInfinity (CI) deep-learning reconstruction algorithm on the image quality of orbital computed tomography (CT). Methods: Scans were performed using a NeuViz Epoch Elite CT scanner on a Catphan 600 phantom and three 7-year-old rhesus monkeys. The collimation widths were set to 64 mm×0.625 mm and 128 mm×0.3125 mm. Images were acquired using filtered back projection (FBP), 60% adaptive iterative reconstruction algorithm ClearView (CV), and 60% deep learning reconstruction algorithm CI. Image quality was evaluated using objective indicators such as the modulation transfer function (MTF) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), as well as using double-blind subjective scoring. Additionally, statistical analyses were performed. Results: In phantom experiments, under standard and bone algorithms, images with a collimation width of 128×0.3125 mm showed significantly better performances in terms of MTF50%, MTF10%, and some CNR indicators compared with those with a collimation width of 64×0.625 mm. The CNR of the CI algorithm was significantly higher than those of the FBP and CV algorithms. In animal experiments, the CNR of the medial rectus in images with a 128×0.3125 mm collimation width was significantly higher than that in images with a 64×0.625 mm collimation width. The CI algorithm achieved the optimal CNR for the medial rectus and eyeball, as well as the highest subjective scores, with good consistency between two radiologists’ subjective scores (Kappa≥0.75). Conclusion: The 0.3125 mm ultra-high-resolution detector combined with the CI deep-learning algorithm significantly improved the resolution and contrast of orbital CT images as well as reduced noise and artifacts, thereby demonstrating promising clinical-application prospects.
