Abstract
Penalized weighted-least squares (PWLS) with learned material priors is a promising way to achieve high quality basis material images using dual energy CT (DECT). We propose a new image-domain multi-material decomposition (MMD) method that combines PWLS estimation with regularization based on a union of learned crossmaterial transforms (CULTRA) model. Numerical experiments with the XCAT phantom show that the proposed method significantly improves the basis materials’ image quality over direct matrix inversion and PWLS decomposition with regularization involving a total nuclear norm (TNV) term and a ℓ0 norm term (PWLS-TNV-ℓ0).
