The normal-dose scan assisted algorithms have shown their potential in improving LDCT image quality by using a registered previously scanned normal-dose CT (NDCT) reference to regularize the corresponding LDCT target. The major drawback of such methods is the requirement of a previous patient-specific NDCT scan, which limits their clinical application. To address these problems, this paper proposed adaptive prior feature matching method for better restoration of the LDCT image. The innovation lies in construction of offline texture feature database and online adaptive prior feature matching integrated with the NLM regularization. Specifically, the prior features were extracted by the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) from regions of interest (ROIs) in existing NDCT scans of population patients. For online adaptive prior feature matching, ROIs with their texture features being similar to those of the current noisy target ROI are selected from the database as the references for the NLM regularization. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated by clinical lung cancer studies, the gain over traditional methods is noticeable in terms of both noise suppression and textures preservation. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0219467819500177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,22]],"date-time":"2019-07-22T08:09:13Z","timestamp":1563782953000},"page":"1950017","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Low-Dose CT Image Restoration Based on Adaptive <i>Prior<\/i> Feature Matching and Nonlocal Means"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Lu","family":"Cheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Science and Engineering, Qufu Normal University, Rizhao 276800, P.
