用混合模型提升低剂量CT去噪效果,更接近正常剂量图像。

CT-Mamba: A Hybrid Convolutional State Space Model for Low-Dose CT Denoising

  • 结合卷积与Mamba结构,兼顾局部细节和全局依赖
  • 提出Z型扫描策略,保持像素空间连续性
  • 设计噪声谱损失函数,使去噪后图像噪声分布更真实

低剂量CT虽可降低患者辐射,但会引入更多噪声和伪影。现有基于卷积神经网络的方法在长程建模上受限,而基于Transformer的方法计算复杂度高。此外,深度学习去噪后的图像噪声分布常与正常剂量CT图像不一致,影响诊断质量。本文提出CT-Mamba,一种融合卷积与状态空间模型的混合架构,兼具CNN的局部特征提取能力和Mamba的长程依赖捕捉优势,可同时保留局部细节与全局上下文。创新性地引入空间一致性Z型扫描机制,确保相邻像素间空间连续性。设计基于Mamba的深层噪声功率谱(NPS)损失函数,引导训练使去噪图像噪声纹理逼近正常剂量图像。实验表明,CT-Mamba在降噪、细节保持及噪声分布优化方面表现优异,与正常剂量图像的放射组学特征统计相似度更高,展现出在低剂量CT去噪任务中应用Mamba框架的潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-dose CT (LDCT) significantly reduces the radiation dose received by patients, however, dose reduction introduces additional noise and artifacts. Currently, denoising methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) face limitations in long-range modeling capabilities, while Transformer-based denoising methods, although capable of powerful long-range modeling, suffer from high computational complexity. Furthermore, the denoised images predicted by deep learning-based techniques inevitably exhibit differences in noise distribution compared to normal-dose CT (NDCT) images, which can also impact the final image quality and diagnostic outcomes. This paper proposes CT-Mamba, a hybrid convolutional State Space Model for LDCT image denoising. The model combines the local feature extraction advantages of CNNs with Mamba's strength in capturing long-range dependencies, enabling it to capture both local details and global context. Additionally, we introduce an innovative spatially coherent Z-shaped scanning scheme to ensure spatial continuity between adjacent pixels in the image. We design a Mamba-driven deep noise power spectrum (NPS) loss function to guide model training, ensuring that the noise texture of the denoised LDCT images closely resembles that of NDCT images, thereby enhancing overall image quality and diagnostic value. Experimental results have demonstrated that CT-Mamba performs excellently in reducing noise in LDCT images, enhancing detail preservation, and optimizing noise texture distribution, and exhibits higher statistical similarity with the radiomics features of NDCT images. The proposed CT-Mamba demonstrates outstanding performance in LDCT denoising and holds promise as a representative approach for applying the Mamba framework to LDCT denoising tasks.
