Sparse Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction can reduce patient radiation dosage and is of great significance for clinical diagnosis. In deep learning-based image reconstruction tasks, classic networks such as Uformer (U-shape Transformer), Restormer (Restoration Transformer), and AST (Adaptive Sparse Transformer) fail to consider multi-scale and directional information in images, neglecting the balance between local details and global structure, resulting in limited artifact suppression. To address this issue, a Multi-scale Attention Adaptive Fusion Transformer (MAAF-Transformer) network was proposed. In this network, a parallel attention fusion strategy was adopted, a Multi-Scale Channel Direction-aware Attention (MSCDA) module was combined to capture artifact features, and a Convolutional Adaptive Spatial Channel Attention (CASCA) module was used to adjust the weights dynamically. Then, effective information was filtered through a Gated Deep-convolutional Feedforward Network (GDFN). Experimental results show that at 60 sparse angles, MAAF-Transformer achieves 0.714 1 dB higher Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), 0.33% higher Structural SIMilarity (SSIM), and 7.76% lower Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) compared with classic Uformer, with excellent performance in terms of visual effects as well. It can be seen that MAAF-Transformer has higher sparse reconstruction accuracy and stronger artifact suppression capability.
