TAFG-MAN通过自适应频率门控,实现低剂量CT图像高效去噪与细节保留。

TAFG-MAN: Timestep-Adaptive Frequency-Gated Latent Diffusion for Efficient and High-Quality Low-Dose CT Image Denoising

  • 设计自适应频率门控模块,分阶段释放高频细节信息
  • 在保持推理成本不变前提下,提升图像细节与感知质量
  • 适合医疗影像去噪,尤其关注噪声抑制与结构保真

低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)虽能降低辐射暴露,但引入大量噪声和结构退化,难以在不损失细微解剖细节的前提下有效去噪。本文提出TAFG-MAN,一种用于高效高质LDCT图像去噪的潜在扩散框架。该框架结合感知优化的自编码器、紧凑潜在空间中的条件潜在扩散重建,以及轻量级的时间步自适应频率门控(TAFG)条件设计。TAFG将条件特征分解为低频与高频成分,根据当前去噪特征与时间步嵌入预测自适应门控,并在去噪后期逐步释放高频引导信息,再进入交叉注意力机制。此设计使模型在早期反向步骤更依赖稳定的结构引导,后期谨慎引入精细细节,从而更好平衡噪声抑制与细节保留。实验表明,TAFG-MAN在质量-效率权衡上优于代表性基线。相比无TAFG的基线版本,其进一步提升了细节保留与感知质量,且推理开销基本一致;消融实验证实了所提条件机制的有效性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces radiation exposure but also introduces substantial noise and structural degradation, making it difficult to suppress noise without erasing subtle anatomical details. In this paper, we present TAFG-MAN, a latent diffusion framework for efficient and high-quality LDCT image denoising. The framework combines a perceptually optimized autoencoder, conditional latent diffusion restoration in a compact latent space, and a lightweight Timestep-Adaptive Frequency-Gated (TAFG) conditioning design. TAFG decomposes condition features into low- and high-frequency components, predicts timestep-adaptive gates from the current denoising feature and timestep embedding, and progressively releases high-frequency guidance in later denoising stages before cross-attention. In this way, the model relies more on stable structural guidance at early reverse steps and introduces fine details more cautiously as denoising proceeds, improving the balance between noise suppression and detail preservation. Experiments show that TAFG-MAN achieves a favorable quality-efficiency trade-off against representative baselines. Compared with its base variant without TAFG, it further improves detail preservation and perceptual quality while maintaining essentially the same inference cost, and ablation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed conditioning mechanism.
