description Summary: Decreasing projection views to a lower X-ray radiation dose usually leads to severe streak artifacts. To improve image quality from sparse-view data, a multi-domain integrative Swin transformer network (MIST-net) was developed and is reported in this article. First, MIST-net incorporated lavish domain features from data, residual data, image, and residual image using flexible network architectures, where a residual data and residual image sub-network was considered as a data consistency module to eliminate interpolation and reconstruction errors. Second, a trainable edge enhancement filter was incorporated to detect and protect image edges. Third, a high-quality reconstruction Swin transformer (i.e., Recformer) was designed to capture image global features. The experimental results on numerical and real cardiac clinical datasets with 48 views demonstrated that our proposed MIST-net provided better image quality with more small features and sharp edges than other competitors. The bigger picture: Decreasing projection views to a lower X-ray radiation dose usually leads to severe streak artifacts. To improve reconstructed image quality from sparse-view data, we develop a multi-domain integrative Swin transformer (MIST) network in this study. The proposed MIST-net incorporates lavish domain features from data, residual data, image, and residual image using flexible network architectures, which help deeply mine the data and image features. To detect image features and protect image edges, the trainable edge enhancement filter is further incorporated to the network for improving encode-decode ability. A high-quality reconstruction transformer was designed to improve the ability of global feature extraction. Our results from both simulation and real cardiac data demonstrated the great potential of MIST.
