Increasing use of CT in modern medical practice has raised concerns over associated radiation dose. Reduction of radiation dose associated with CT can increase noise and artifacts, which can adversely affect diagnostic confidence. Denoising…
Medical image denoising is considered among the most challenging vision tasks. Despite the real-world implications, existing denoising methods have notable drawbacks as they often generate visual artifacts when applied to heterogeneous…
Medical imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound are essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in modern healthcare. However, noise contamination during image…
The restoration of images affected by blur and noise has been widely studied and has broad potential for applications including in medical imaging modalities like computed tomography (CT). Although the blur and noise in CT images can be…
During the acquisition of an image from its source, noise always becomes an integral part of it. Various algorithms have been used in past to denoise the images. Image denoising still has scope for improvement. Visual information…
A problem of image denoising when images are corrupted by a non-stationary noise is considered in this paper. Since in practice no a priori information on noise is available, noise statistics should be pre-estimated for image denoising. In…
Most of the Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) based CT image denoising literature shows that DNNs outperform traditional iterative methods in terms of metrics such as the RMSE, the PSNR and the SSIM. In many instances, using the same metrics, the…
Image denoising is getting more significance, especially in Computed Tomography (CT), which is an important and most common modality in medical imaging. This is mainly due to that the effectiveness of clinical diagnosis using CT image lies…
A wide variety of image denoising methods are available now. However, the performance of a denoising algorithm often depends on individual input noisy images as well as its parameter setting. In this paper, we present a no-reference image…
Recently, Self-supervised learning methods able to perform image denoising without ground truth labels have been proposed. These methods create low-quality images by adding random or Gaussian noise to images and then train a model for…
Blind and universal image denoising consists of using a unique model that denoises images with any level of noise. It is especially practical as noise levels do not need to be known when the model is developed or at test time. We propose a…
CT images are widely used in pathology detection and follow-up treatment procedures. Accurate identification of pathological features requires diagnostic quality CT images with minimal noise and artifact variation. In this work, a novel…
This paper proposes a novel method for automatic MRI denoising that exploits last advances in deep learning feature regression and self-similarity properties of the MR images. The proposed method is a two-stage approach. In the first stage,…
Improving the spatial resolution of CT images is a meaningful yet challenging task, often accompanied by the issue of noise amplification. This article introduces an innovative framework for noise-controlled CT super-resolution utilizing…
In PET, the amount of relative (signal-dependent) noise present in different body regions can be significantly different and is inherently related to the number of counts present in that region. The number of counts in a region depends, in…
We propose a novel self-supervised image blind denoising approach in which two neural networks jointly predict the clean signal and infer the noise distribution. Assuming that the noisy observations are independent conditionally to the…
Utilizing a low-dose CT approach significantly reduces the radiation exposure for patients, yet it introduces challenges, such as increased noise and artifacts in the resultant images, which can hinder accurate medical diagnostics.…
Noise is an important factor which when get added to an image reduces its quality and appearance. So in order to enhance the image qualities, it has to be removed with preserving the textural information and structural features of image.…
The CMS quality measure for CT mandates compliance with dose and image quality across 18 exam categories, yet the method for calculating global noise (GN) remains undefined, referencing only the Duke and Wisconsin methods. This ambiguity…
Like in many other research fields, recent developments in computational imaging have focused on developing machine learning (ML) approaches to tackle its main challenges. To improve the performance of computational imaging algorithms,…
