AbstractGenerative adversarial network (GAN) has been applied for low-dose CT images to predict normal-dose CT images. However, the undesired artifacts and details bring uncertainty to the clinical diagnosis. In order to improve the visual quality while suppressing the noise, in this paper, we mainly studied the two key components of deep learning based low-dose CT (LDCT) restoration models—network architecture and adversarial loss, and proposed a disentangled noise suppression method based on GAN (DNSGAN) for LDCT. Specifically, a generator network, which contains the noise suppression and structure recovery modules, is proposed. Furthermore, a multi-scaled relativistic adversarial loss is introduced to preserve the finer structures of generated images. Experiments on simulated and real LDCT datasets show that the proposed method can effectively remove noise while recovering finer details and provide better visual perception than other state-of-the-art methods.

Low Dose Computed Tomography

An essential objective in low-dose Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is how best to preserve the image quality. While the image quality lowers with reducing the X-ray dosage, improving the quality is crucial. Therefore, a novel method to denoise low-dose CT images has been presented in this thesis. Different from the traditional algorithms which utilize similar shared features of CT images in the spatial domain, the deep learning approaches are suggested for low-dose CT denoising. The proposed algorithm learns an end-to-end mapping from the low-dose CT images for denoising the low-dose CT images. The first method is based on a fully convolutional neural network. The second approach is a deep convolutional neural network architecture consisting of five major sections. The results of two frameworks are compared with the state-of-the-art methods. Several metrics for assessing image quality are applied in this thesis in order to highlight the supremacy of the performed method.

The X-ray radiation from computed tomography (CT) brought us the potential risk. Simply decreasing the dose makes the CT images noisy and diagnostic performance compromised. Here, we develop a novel denoising low-dose CT image method. Our framework is based on an improved generative adversarial network coupling with the hybrid loss function, including the adversarial loss, perceptual loss, sharpness loss, and structural similarity loss. Among the loss function terms, perceptual loss and structural similarity loss are made use of to preserve textural details, and sharpness loss can make reconstruction images clear. The adversarial loss can sharp the boundary regions. The results of experiments show the proposed method can effectively remove noise and artifacts better than the state-of-the-art methods in the aspects of the visual effect, the quantitative measurements, and the texture details.
