- 用注意力引导的双边滤波器替代黑箱网络,过程透明可调。
- 单图自监督学习,零样本下PSNR提升达3.68dB,参数仅3.6k。
- 适合临床医生交互控制,跨设备、跨协议部署无须重训练。
低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)中的噪声会掩盖重要诊断信息。尽管深度学习具有强大去噪能力,但监督方法需不切实际的成对数据,而自监督方法常使用复杂且不透明的网络,限制临床信任。我们提出Filter2Noise(F2N),一种新颖的自监督框架,可从单张LDCT图像实现可解释的零样本去噪。其核心是一个注意力引导的双边滤波器,一种透明、内容感知的数学算子。轻量级注意力模块预测空间变化的滤波参数,使过程透明并支持放射科医生交互控制。为从一张含相关噪声的图像中学习,我们引入多尺度自监督损失与欧氏局部打乱(ELS),在保留解剖结构完整性的同时破坏噪声模式。在Mayo Clinic LDCT挑战赛中,F2N达到最先进水平,相比竞争性零样本方法最高提升3.68 dB PSNR。模型仅含3.6k参数,远低于同类模型,显著加速推理并简化部署。结合高性能、透明性、用户控制与高参数效率,F2N为LDCT增强提供可信解决方案。我们进一步在临床光子计数CT数据上验证其适用性。代码已开源:https://github.com/sypsyp97/Filter2Noise。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Noise in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can obscure important diagnostic details. While deep learning offers powerful denoising, supervised methods require impractical paired data, and self-supervised alternatives often use opaque, parameter-heavy networks that limit clinical trust. We propose Filter2Noise (F2N), a novel self-supervised framework for interpretable, zero-shot denoising from a single LDCT image. Instead of a black-box network, its core is an Attention-Guided Bilateral Filter, a transparent, content-aware mathematical operator. A lightweight attention module predicts spatially varying filter parameters, making the process transparent and allowing interactive radiologist control. To learn from a single image with correlated noise, we introduce a multi-scale self-supervised loss coupled with Euclidean Local Shuffle (ELS) to disrupt noise patterns while preserving anatomical integrity. On the Mayo Clinic LDCT Challenge, F2N achieves state-of-the-art results, outperforming competing zero-shot methods by up to 3.68 dB in PSNR. It accomplishes this with only 3.6k parameters, orders of magnitude fewer than competing models, which accelerates inference and simplifies deployment. By combining high performance with transparency, user control, and high parameter efficiency, F2N offers a trustworthy solution for LDCT enhancement. We further demonstrate its applicability by validating it on clinical photon-counting CT data. Code is available at: https://github.com/sypsyp97/Filter2Noise.
