通过邻域引导采样,实现无注册的医学图像去噪。
NGPS: Structure-Preserving Self-Supervised Denoising via Neighbor-Guided Patch Sampling

- 用引导图在局部找结构相似块,避开错位干扰。
- 在真实噪声切片中直接取值,保留高频边界信息。
- 无需学习配准模块,适合高分辨率医学影像去噪。
相邻切片自监督去噪在体数据医学成像中很有吸引力,但切片间错位会破坏解剖对应性,导致鬼影和模糊边缘。我们提出邻域引导补丁采样(NGPS),一种轻量级框架,在局部切片错位下构建邻近监督,无需显式配准。为避免从误导性目标学习,先前方法常掩蔽不一致区域,但这牺牲了大量邻近证据,尤其在高频解剖边界处。NGPS通过解耦结构匹配与信号检索:对每个被掩蔽位置,利用简单引导图(如快速双边滤波)在局部搜索结构相似候选块,同时直接从原始噪声邻片对应坐标获取监督信号。在噪声衰减引导图上匹配结构,从邻片原始值中提取信号,从而构建局部伪标签,无需学习配准模块。在评估的CT和合成瑞利噪声MRI设置中,NGPS提升了保真度和结构敏感指标。代码见https://github.com/cv-cho/NGPS。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Neighboring-slice self-supervised denoising is attractive for volumetric medical imaging, yet inter-slice misalignment breaks anatomical correspondence and often yields ghosting and blurred margins when adjacent slices are used naively as targets. We propose Neighbor-Guided Patch Sampling (NGPS), a lightweight framework that constructs neighboring supervision under local inter-slice misalignment without explicit registration. To avoid learning from misleading targets, prior methods commonly mask discrepant regions, but this stabilizes training at the cost of leaving a non-trivial portion of neighboring evidence unexploited, particularly around high-frequency anatomical boundaries. NGPS addresses this by decoupling structure matching from signal retrieval: for each masked location, it searches a local neighborhood for structurally similar candidate patches using a simple guide image (e.g., fast bilateral filtering), while retrieving the supervision signal directly from the raw noisy neighbor at the matched coordinates. By matching on a noise-attenuated guide while retrieving raw values from neighboring slices, NGPS constructs local pseudo targets without a learned registration module. Across the evaluated CT and synthetic-Rician MRI settings, NGPS improves fidelity and structure-sensitive metrics. Code is available at https://github.com/cv-cho/NGPS .
