Structure-preserved denoising of 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is a critical step in medical image analysis. Over the past few years, many algorithms with impressive performances have been proposed. In this paper, inspired by the idea of deep learning, we introduce an MRI denoising method based on the residual encoder-decoder Wasserstein generative adversarial network (RED-WGAN). Specifically, to explore the structure similarity between neighboring slices, a 3D configuration is utilized as the basic processing unit. Residual autoencoders combined with deconvolution operations are introduced into the generator network. Furthermore, to alleviate the oversmoothing shortcoming of the traditional mean squared error (MSE) loss function, the perceptual similarity, which is implemented by calculating the distances in the feature space extracted by a pretrained VGG-19 network, is incorporated with the MSE and adversarial losses to form the new loss function. Extensive experiments are implemented to assess the performance of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed RED-WGAN achieves performance superior to several state-of-the-art methods in both simulated and real clinical data. In particular, our method demonstrates powerful abilities in both noise suppression and structure preservation.

Purpose: Correcting or reducing the effects of voxel intensity non-uniformity (INU) within a given tissue type is a crucial issue for quantitative MRI image analysis in daily clinical practice. In this study, we present a deep learning-based approach
for MRI image INU correction. Method: We developed a residual cycle generative adversarial network (res-cycle GAN), which integrates the residual block concept into a cycle-consistent GAN (cycle-GAN). In cycle-GAN, an inverse transformation was implemented between the INU uncorrected and corrected MRI images to constrain the model through forcing the calculation of both an INU corrected MRI and a synthetic corrected MRI. A fully convolution neural network integrating residual blocks was applied in the generator of cycle-GAN to enhance end-to-end raw MRI to INU corrected MRI transformation. A cohort of 30 abdominal patients with T1-weighted MR INU images and their corrections with a clinically established and commonly used method, namely, N4ITK were used as a pair to evaluate the proposed res-cycle GAN based INU correction algorithm. Quantitatively comparisons were made among the proposed method and other approaches. Result: Our res-cycle GAN based method achieved higher accuracy and better tissue uniformity compared to the other algorithms. Moreover, once the model is well trained, our approach can automatically generate the corrected MR images in a few minutes, eliminating the need for manual setting of parameters. Conclusion: In this study, a deep learning based automatic INU correction method in MRI, namely, res-cycle GAN has been investigated. The results show that learning based methods can achieve promising accuracy, while highly speeding up the correction through avoiding the unintuitive parameter tuning process in N4ITK correction.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) are trained to generate sample images of interest distribution. To this end, generator network of GAN learns implicit distribution of real data set from the classification with candidate generated samples. Recent
ly, various GANs have suggested novel ideas for stable optimizing of its networks. However, in real implementation, sometimes they still represent a only narrow part of true distribution or fail to converge. We assume this ill posed problem comes from poor gradient from objective function of discriminator, which easily trap the generator in a bad situation. To address this problem, we propose a mode penalty GAN combined with pre-trained auto encoder for explicit representation of generated and real data samples in the encoded space. In this space, we make a generator manifold to follow a real manifold by finding entire modes of target distribution. In addition, penalty for uncovered modes of target distribution is given to the generator which encourages it to find overall target distribution. We demonstrate that applying the proposed method to GANs helps generators optimization becoming more stable and having faster convergence through experimental evaluations.
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is widely used in clinical practice. The involved ionizing X-ray radiation, however, could increase cancer risk. Hence, the reduction of the radiation dose has been an important topic in recent years. Few-view CT image
reconstruction is one of the main ways to minimize radiation dose and potentially allow a stationary CT architecture. In this paper, we propose a deep encoder-decoder adversarial reconstruction (DEAR) network for 3D CT image reconstruction from few-view data. Since the artifacts caused by few-view reconstruction appear in 3D instead of 2D geometry, a 3D deep network has a great potential for improving the image quality in a data-driven fashion. More specifically, our proposed DEAR-3D network aims at reconstructing 3D volume directly from clinical 3D spiral cone-beam image data. DEAR is validated on a publicly available abdominal CT dataset prepared and authorized by Mayo Clinic. Compared with other 2D deep-learning methods, the proposed DEAR-3D network can utilize 3D information to produce promising reconstruction results.
Fingerprint image denoising is a very important step in fingerprint identification. to improve the denoising effect of fingerprint image,we have designs a fingerprint denoising algorithm based on deep encoder-decoder network,which encoder subnet to l
earn the fingerprint features of noisy images.the decoder subnet reconstructs the original fingerprint image based on the features to achieve denoising, while using the dilated convolution in the network to increase the receptor field without increasing the complexity and improve the network inference speed. In addition, feature fusion at different levels of the network is achieved through the introduction of residual learning, which further restores the detailed features of the fingerprint and improves the denoising effect. Finally, the experimental results show that the algorithm enables better recovery of edge, line and curve features in fingerprint images, with better visual effects and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) compared to other methods.
