Abstract: Objective To develop a computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CT-MP) deconvolution algorithm byincorporating high-dimension total variation (HDTV) regularization. Methods A perfusion deconvolution model wasformulated for the low-dose CT-MPI data, followed by HDTV regularization to regularize the consistency of the solution byfusing the spatial correlation of the vascular structure and the temporal continuation of the blood flow signal. Results Bothqualitative and quantitative studies were conducted using XCAT and pig myocardial perfusion data to evaluate the presentalgorithm. The experimental results showed that this algorithm achieved hemodynamic parameter maps with betterperformances than the existing methods in terms of streak-artifacts suppression, noise-resolution tradeoff, and diagnosisstructure preservation. Conclusion The proposed algorithm can achieve high-quality hemodynamic parameter maps inlow-dose CT-MPI.
