摘要
Lung 4D-CT plays an important role in lung cancer radiotherapy. However, due to the great inter-slice thickness, the fuzzy images will be induced because of interpolation operation during the multi-plane display. In this paper, we take the low-resolution images of different phases in the corresponding position as different “frame” images, and propose a registration based super-resolution reconstruction method to improve the resolution of lung 4D-CT images. First, we employ the Active Demons registration to estimate the motion field between different “frames”. Then, the projection onto convex set (POCS) approach is employed to reconstruction high-resolution lung images. The experimental results show that our method can get more clear lung images and significantly enhance image structure, compared with the cubic spline interpolation and back projection method. ©, 2015, Chinese Institute of Electronics.
