摘　　要：为了准确地获取放疗摆位信息,并减低临床患者所接收的辐射剂量,提出了一种基于非局部均值(NLM)的锥形束计算层析(CBCT)投影数据去噪算法。首先,计算在不同投射角度下获取的CBCT投影数据的噪声标准差、边缘信息和纹理子块的平均梯度值的均值,确定与该角度投影数据相适应的滤波强度值;然后,采用改进的NLM算法对投影数据进行去噪处理;最后,经过三维重建获得较高质量的CBCT图像。还对基于子块分割的噪声估计算法进行了改进,使其更适用于CBCT投影数据的噪声估计。实验结果表明,本文算法能够有效估计投影数据的噪声水平,去噪效果优于其它几种算法,在去除噪声的同时,还能很好地保留图像的细节信息,并可增强图像的对比度,有利于准确获取摆位信息和医生的临床诊断。In order to get more accurate placement information of radiation therapy and reduce the radiation dose received by clinical patients in the hospital, a new denoising algorithm based on the noises in the cone-beam computed tomography （CBCT） projection data is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the appropriate value of the filter strength is determined by the noise standard deviation, the edge information and the average of the average gradient values of texture sub-blocks which are calculated in different angles of the projection data received before the reconstruction of the 3D CBCT images,then the projection data are denoised by the adaptive nonlocal means （NLM） algorithm and lastly, the denoised projection data are reconstructed to obtain high quality CBCT images. In addition, a noise estimation algorithm is im proved in order to make it more suitable for the CBCT projection data. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can estimate the noise level of the projection data,the new algorithm is also superior to other methods,it can reduce the noises,keep the details and enhance the contrast of the ima ges effectively,so the proposed algorithm is beneficial to acquiring the accurate placement information and diagnosing in the clinical practicefor the doctor.
