abstract = {Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans that are affected by motion often
require motion compensation to reduce artifacts or to
reconstruct 4D (3D+time) representations of the patient. To
do so, most existing strategies rely on some sort of gating
strategy that sorts the acquired projections into motion
bins. Subsequently, these bins can be reconstructed
individually before further post-processing may be applied
to improve image quality. While this concept is useful for
periodic motion patterns, it fails in case of non-periodic
motion as observed, for example, in irregularly breathing
patients.To address this issue and to increase temporal
resolution, we propose the deep single angle-based motion
compensation (SAMoCo).To avoid gating, and therefore its
downsides, the deep SAMoCo trains a U-net-like network to
predict displacement vector fields (DVFs) representing the
motion that occurred between any two given time points of
the scan. To do so, 4D clinical CT scans are used to
simulate 4D CBCT scans as well as the corresponding ground
truth DVFs that map between the different motion states of
the scan. The network is then trained to predict these DVFs
as a function of the respective projection views and an
initial 3D reconstruction. Once the network is trained, an
arbitrary motion state corresponding to a certain projection
view of the scan can be recovered by estimating DVFs from
any other state or view and by considering them during
reconstruction.Applied to 4D CBCT simulations of breathing
patients, the deep SAMoCo provides high-quality
reconstructions for periodic and non-periodic motion. Here,
the deviations with respect to the ground truth are less
than 27 HU on average, while respiratory motion, or the
diaphragm position, can be resolved with an accuracy of
about 0.75 mm. Similar results were obtained for real
measurements where a high correlation with external motion
monitoring signals could be observed, even in patients with
highly irregular respiration.The ability to estimate DVFs as
a function of two arbitrary projection views and an initial
3D reconstruction makes deep SAMoCo applicable to arbitrary
motion patterns with single-view temporal resolution.
Therefore, the deep SAMoCo is particularly useful for cases
with unsteady breathing, compensation of residual motion
during a breath-hold scan, or scans with fast gantry
rotation times in which the data acquisition only covers a
very limited number of breathing cycles. Furthermore, not
requiring gating signals may simplify the clinical workflow
and reduces the time needed for patient preparation.},
