Computed tomography (CT) involves a patient's exposure to ionizing radiation. To reduce the radiation dose, we can either lower the X-ray photon count or down-sample projection views. However, either of the ways often compromises image…

Deep learning is a very promising technique for low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) image denoising. However, traditional deep learning methods require paired noisy and clean datasets, which are often difficult to obtain. This paper…

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…
