Abstract: BACKGROUND:For sparse and limited angle projection Computed Tomography (CT), the reconstructed image usually suffers from considerable artifacts due to undersampled data. OBJECTIVE:To improve image reconstruction quality of sparse and limited angle projection CT, this study tested a novel reconstruction algorithm based on Dictionary Learning (DL) from sparse and limited projections. METHODS:The study used signal sparse representation and feature extraction to render the DL technology, which is constrained by L2 and Lp norms, respectively. A Lp Norm Dictionary Learning term is suitable for regular term of objective function for CT image reconstruction. This is helpful for solving the objective function by combining algorithm of ART. Based on these features, the new algorithm of ART-DL-Lp is proposed for CT image reconstruction. The alternate solving strategy of the algorithm of “ART first, then adaptive DL” is provided in sequence. The impact on reconstruction results of ART-DL-Lp at different p values (0 < p < 1) is also considered. RESULTS:For non-ideal projections with noise, the digital experiments show that ART-DL-Lp data were superior to those of ART, SART, and ART-DL-L2. Accordingly, the objective evaluation metrics for non-ideal situation of RMSE, MAE, PSNR, Residuals and SSIM are all better than those of contrasted three algorithms. The metrics curves of ART-DL-Lp algorithm are recorded as the best. In both incomplete projection situations, smaller p-value of ART-DL-Lp algorithm induces more close reconstructed images to the original form and better five objective evaluation metrics. CONCLUSIONS:Overall, the reconstruction efficiency of the proposed ART-DL-Lp for CT imaging using the noisy incomplete projections outperforms ART, SART and ART-DL-L2 algorithms. For ART-DL-Lp algorithm, lower p-values result in better reconstruction performance.
