A sinogram inpainting method based on generative adversarial network for limited-angle computed tomography

Limited-angle computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is a challenging reconstruction problem in the fields of CT. With the development of deep learning, the generative adversarial network (GAN) perform well in image restoration by approximating the distribution of training sample data. In this paper, we proposed an effective GAN-based inpainting method to restore the missing sinogram data for limited-angle scanning. To estimate the missing data, we design the generator and discriminator of the patch-GAN and train the network to learn the data distribution of the sinogram. We obtain the reconstructed image from the restored sinogram by filtered back projection and simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique with total variation. Experimental results show that serious artifacts caused by missing projection data can be reduced by the proposed method, and it is hopeful to solve the reconstruction problem of 60 degrees limited scanning angle.
