无需干净数据,用动态感知模型提升低剂量荧光成像降噪效果。

Unsupervised Training of a Dynamic Context-Aware Deep Denoising Framework for Low-Dose Fluoroscopic Imaging

  • 基于无监督训练的多尺度递归注意力U-Net,自适应抑制噪声。
  • 融合运动补偿与边缘保持损失,在3500张真实图像上显著提升信噪比。
  • 适合临床实时荧光成像降噪,尤其适用于缺乏配对数据的场景。

荧光成像是医学影像中实现实时X射线可视化的重要手段,但低剂量图像易受噪声干扰,影响诊断准确性。由于运动伪影及清洁数据稀缺,降噪面临挑战。本文提出一种无监督训练的动态上下文感知去噪框架,用于荧光图像序列处理。首先,采用无需干净数据的多尺度递归注意力U-Net(MSR2AU-Net)进行初始去噪;其次,引入基于知识蒸馏的不相关噪声抑制模块和结合运动补偿的递归滤波相关噪声抑制模块,进一步提升运动鲁棒性;最后,设计像素级动态物体运动交叉融合矩阵以自适应运动变化,并使用边缘保持损失确保细节保留。在包含2400张训练、1100张测试的动态体模数据集(共3500张)及350例脊柱手术患者临床图像上验证。同时在公开的2016年低剂量CT挑战赛数据集(4800张训练、1136张测试)上测试跨模态性能。结果表明,该方法在视觉质量和定量指标上均优于现有无监督算法,且接近有监督先进方法在低剂量荧光与CT成像中的表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fluoroscopy is critical for real-time X-ray visualization in medical imaging. However, low-dose images are compromised by noise, potentially affecting diagnostic accuracy. Noise reduction is crucial for maintaining image quality, especially given such challenges as motion artifacts and the limited availability of clean data in medical imaging. To address these issues, we propose an unsupervised training framework for dynamic context-aware denoising of fluoroscopy image sequences. First, we train the multi-scale recurrent attention U-Net (MSR2AU-Net) without requiring clean data to address the initial noise. Second, we incorporate a knowledge distillation-based uncorrelated noise suppression module and a recursive filtering-based correlated noise suppression module enhanced with motion compensation to further improve motion compensation and achieve superior denoising performance. Finally, we introduce a novel approach by combining these modules with a pixel-wise dynamic object motion cross-fusion matrix, designed to adapt to motion, and an edge-preserving loss for precise detail retention. To validate the proposed method, we conducted extensive numerical experiments on medical image datasets, including 3500 fluoroscopy images from dynamic phantoms (2,400 images for training, 1,100 for testing) and 350 clinical images from a spinal surgery patient. Moreover, we demonstrated the robustness of our approach across different imaging modalities by testing it on the publicly available 2016 Low Dose CT Grand Challenge dataset, using 4,800 images for training and 1,136 for testing. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised algorithms in both visual quality and quantitative evaluation while achieving comparable performance to well-established supervised learning methods across low-dose fluoroscopy and CT imaging.
