Traditional model-based image reconstruction (MBIR) methods combine forward and noise models with simple object priors. Recent machine learning methods for image reconstruction typically involve supervised learning or unsupervised learning, both of which have their advantages and disadvantages. In this work, we propose a unified supervised-unsupervised (SUPER) learning framework for X-ray computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. The proposed learning formulation combines both unsupervised learning-based priors (or even simple analytical priors) together with (supervised) deep network-based priors in a unified MBIR framework based on a fixed point iteration analysis. The proposed training algorithm is also an approximate scheme for a bilevel supervised training optimization problem, wherein the network-based regularizer in the lower-level MBIR problem is optimized using an upper-level reconstruction loss. The training problem is optimized by alternating between updating the network weights and iteratively updating the reconstructions based on those weights. We demonstrate the learned SUPER models efficacy for low-dose CT image reconstruction, for which we use the NIH AAPM Mayo Clinic Low Dose CT Grand Challenge dataset for training and testing. In our experiments, we studied different combinations of supervised deep network priors and unsupervised learning-based or analytical priors. Both numerical and visual results show the superiority of the proposed unified SUPER methods over standalone supervised learning-based methods, iterative MBIR methods, and variations of SUPER obtained via ablation studies. We also show that the proposed algorithm converges rapidly in practice.

Recent years have witnessed growing interest in machine learning-based models and techniques for low-dose X-ray CT (LDCT) imaging tasks. The methods can typically be categorized into supervised learning methods and unsupervised or model-based learnin
g methods. Supervised learning methods have recently shown success in image restoration tasks. However, they often rely on large training sets. Model-based learning methods such as dictionary or transform learning do not require large or paired training sets and often have good generalization properties, since they learn general properties of CT image sets. Recent works have shown the promising reconstruction performance of methods such as PWLS-ULTRA that rely on clustering the underlying (reconstructed) image patches into a learned union of transforms. In this paper, we propose a new Supervised-UnsuPERvised (SUPER) reconstruction framework for LDCT image reconstruction that combines the benefits of supervised learning methods and (unsupervised) transform learning-based methods such as PWLS-ULTRA that involve highly image-adaptive clustering. The SUPER model consists of several layers, each of which includes a deep network learned in a supervised manner and an unsupervised iterative method that involves image-adaptive components. The SUPER reconstruction algorithms are learned in a greedy manner from training data. The proposed SUPER learning methods dramatically outperform both the constituent supervised learning-based networks and iterative algorithms for LDCT, and use much fewer iterations in the iterative reconstruction modules.
Low-dose CT image reconstruction has been a popular research topic in recent years. A typical reconstruction method based on post-log measurements is called penalized weighted-least squares (PWLS). Due to the underlying limitations of the post-log st
atistical model, the PWLS reconstruction quality is often degraded in low-dose scans. This paper investigates a shifted-Poisson (SP) model based likelihood function that uses the pre-log raw measurements that better represents the measurement statistics, together with a data-driven regularizer exploiting a Union of Learned TRAnsforms (SPULTRA). Both the SP induced data-fidelity term and the regularizer in the proposed framework are nonconvex. The proposed SPULTRA algorithm uses quadratic surrogate functions for the SP induced data-fidelity term. Each iteration involves a quadratic subproblem for updating the image, and a sparse coding and clustering subproblem that has a closed-form solution. The SPULTRA algorithm has a similar computational cost per iteration as its recent counterpart PWLS-ULTRA that uses post-log measurements, and it provides better image reconstruction quality than PWLS-ULTRA, especially in low-dose scans.
Recently, satellites with high temporal resolution have fostered wide attention in various practical applications. Due to limitations of bandwidth and hardware cost, however, the spatial resolution of such satellites is considerably low, largely limi
ting their potentials in scenarios that require spatially explicit information. To improve image resolution, numerous approaches based on training low-high resolution pairs have been proposed to address the super-resolution (SR) task. Despite their success, however, low/high spatial resolution pairs are usually difficult to obtain in satellites with a high temporal resolution, making such approaches in SR impractical to use. In this paper, we proposed a new unsupervised learning framework, called MIP, which achieves SR tasks without low/high resolution image pairs. First, random noise maps are fed into a designed generative adversarial network (GAN) for reconstruction. Then, the proposed method converts the reference image to latent space as the migration image prior. Finally, we update the input noise via an implicit method, and further transfer the texture and structured information from the reference image. Extensive experimental results on the Draper dataset show that MIP achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods both quantitatively and qualitatively. The proposed MIP is open-sourced at http://github.com/jiaming-wang/MIP.
Recently, deep learning approaches have become the main research frontier for biological image reconstruction problems thanks to their high performance, along with their ultra-fast reconstruction times. However, due to the difficulty of obtaining mat
ched reference data for supervised learning, there has been increasing interest in unsupervised learning approaches that do not need paired reference data. In particular, self-supervised learning and generative models have been successfully used for various biological imaging applications. In this paper, we overview these approaches from a coherent perspective in the context of classical inverse problems, and discuss their applications to biological imaging.
Quantitative imaging in MRI usually involves acquisition and reconstruction of a series of images at multi-echo time points, which possibly requires more scan time and specific reconstruction technique compared to conventional qualitative imaging. In
this work, we focus on optimizing the acquisition and reconstruction process of multi-echo gradient echo pulse sequence for quantitative susceptibility mapping as one important quantitative imaging method in MRI. A multi-echo sampling pattern optimization block extended from LOUPE-ST is proposed to optimize the k-space sampling patterns along echoes. Besides, a recurrent temporal feature fusion block is proposed and inserted into a backbone deep ADMM network to capture the signal evolution along echo time during reconstruction. Experiments show that both blocks help improve multi-echo image reconstruction performance.
