用强化学习动态优化低剂量CT去噪,提升图像质量。

PPORLD-EDNetLDCT: A Proximal Policy Optimization-Based Reinforcement Learning Framework for Adaptive Low-Dose CT Denoising

  • 基于PPO算法的强化学习框架,实时根据图像质量反馈优化去噪策略。
  • 在多个数据集上实现PSNR 41.87、SSIM 0.9814、RMSE 0.00236的优异表现。
  • 适合需要高保真去噪的医学影像领域,尤其适用于低剂量CT临床应用。

低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)对降低辐射暴露至关重要,但常导致噪声增加和图像质量下降。传统去噪方法如迭代优化或监督学习难以有效保持图像质量。为此,我们提出一种基于近端策略优化(PPO)的强化学习框架PPORLD-EDNetLDCT,结合编码器-解码器结构用于LDCT去噪。该方法通过自定义gym环境训练,在实时图像质量反馈下动态优化去噪策略。在低剂量CT图像与投影数据集上的实验表明,所提模型优于传统及现有深度学习方法:达到峰值信噪比(PSNR)41.87、结构相似性指数(SSIM)0.9814、均方根误差(RMSE)0.00236。在NIH-AAPM-Mayo Clinic低剂量CT挑战赛数据集上,获得PSNR 41.52、SSIM 0.9723、RMSE 0.0051。此外,在新冠低剂量CT分类任务中,经本方法处理的图像使分类准确率达94%,较非强化学习去噪提升4%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is critical for minimizing radiation exposure, but it often leads to increased noise and reduced image quality. Traditional denoising methods, such as iterative optimization or supervised learning, often fail to preserve image quality. To address these challenges, we introduce PPORLD-EDNetLDCT, a reinforcement learning-based (RL) approach with Encoder-Decoder for LDCT. Our method utilizes a dynamic RL-based approach in which an advanced posterior policy optimization (PPO) algorithm is used to optimize denoising policies in real time, based on image quality feedback, trained via a custom gym environment. The experimental results on the low dose CT image and projection dataset demonstrate that the proposed PPORLD-EDNetLDCT model outperforms traditional denoising techniques and other DL-based methods, achieving a peak signal-to-noise ratio of 41.87, a structural similarity index measure of 0.9814 and a root mean squared error of 0.00236. Moreover, in NIH-AAPM-Mayo Clinic Low Dose CT Challenge dataset our method achieved a PSNR of 41.52, SSIM of 0.9723 and RMSE of 0.0051. Furthermore, we validated the quality of denoising using a classification task in the COVID-19 LDCT dataset, where the images processed by our method improved the classification accuracy to 94%, achieving 4% higher accuracy compared to denoising without RL-based denoising.
