The unrolling method has been investigated for learning variational models in x-ray computed tomography. However, for incomplete data reconstruction, such as sparse-view and limited-angle problems, the unrolling method of gradient descent of the energy minimization problem cannot yield satisfactory results. In this paper, we present an effective CT reconstruction model, where the low-resolution image is introduced as a regularization for incomplete data problems. In what follows, we utilize the deep equilibrium approach to unfolding of the gradient descent algorithm, thereby constructing the backbone network architecture for solving the minimization model. We theoretically discuss the convergence of the proposed low-resolution prior equilibrium (LRPE) model and provide the necessary conditions to guarantee its convergence. Experimental results on both sparse-view and limited-angle reconstruction problems are provided, demonstrating that our end-to-end LRPE model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in terms of noise reduction, contrast-to-noise ratio, and preservation of edge details.
在 X 射线计算机断层扫描中,已经研究了用于学习变分模型的展开方法。然而,对于不完整数据重建,如稀疏视图和有限角度问题,能量最小化问题梯度下降的展开法无法获得令人满意的结果。本文提出了一种有效的 CT 重建模型,其中引入了低分辨率图像作为不完整数据问题的正则化。接下来,我们利用深度均衡方法来展开梯度下降算法,从而构建出求解最小化模型的骨干网络架构。我们从理论上讨论了所提出的低分辨率先验均衡(LRPE)模型的收敛性,并提供了保证其收敛性的必要条件。我们提供了稀疏视图和有限角度重建问题的实验结果,证明我们的端到端 LRPE 模型在降噪、对比度-噪声比和边缘细节保留方面优于其他最先进的方法。

Most derivations of inversion formulae for x-ray or Radon transform are based on the projection theorem, where for fixed direction the Fourier transform of x-ray or Radon transform is calculated and compared with the Fourier transform of the searched-for function. In contrast to this we start here off from the searched-for field, calculate its Fourier transform for fixed direction, which is now a vector or tensor field, that we then expand in a suitable direction dependent basis. The expansion coefficients are recognized as the Fourier transform of longitudinal, transversal or mixed ray transforms or vectorial Radon transform respectively. The inverse Fourier transform of the searched-for field then directly leads to inversion formulae for those transforms applying problem adapted backprojections. When considering the Helmholtz decomposition of the field we immediately find inversion formulae for those transversal or longitudinal transforms. First inversion formulae for the longitudinal ray transform, similar to those given by Natterer (1986 The Mathematics of Computerized Tomography (Teubner and Wiley)) for x-ray tomography, were given by Natterer-Wübbeling in 2001, Natterer and Wübbeling (2001 Mathematical Methods in Image Reconstruction (SIAM)), but then not pursued by other authors. In this paper, we present the above described method and derive in a unified way inversion formulae for the ray transforms treated in Louis (2022 Inverse Problems
