Dynamic Contrast Enhanced-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely used to complement ultrasound examinations and x-ray mammography during the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. However, images generated by various MRI scanners (e.g. GE Healthcare vs Siemens) differ both in intensity and noise distribution, preventing algorithms trained on MRIs from one scanner to generalize to data from other scanners successfully. We propose a method for image normalization to solve this problem. MRI normalization is challenging because it requires both normalizing intensity values and mapping between the noise distributions of different scanners. We utilize a cycle-consistent generative adversarial network to learn a bidirectional mapping between MRIs produced by GE Healthcare and Siemens scanners. This allows us learning the mapping between two different scanner types without matched data, which is not commonly available. To ensure the preservation of breast shape and structures within the breast, we propose two technical innovations. First, we incorporate a mutual information loss with the CycleGAN architecture to ensure that the structure of the breast is maintained. Second, we propose a modified discriminator architecture which utilizes a smaller field-of-view to ensure the preservation of finer details in the breast tissue. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations show that the second proposed method was able to consistently preserve a high level of detail in the breast structure while also performing the proper intensity normalization and noise mapping. Our results demonstrate that the proposed model can successfully learn a bidirectional mapping between MRIs produced by different vendors, potentially enabling improved accuracy of downstream computational algorithms for diagnosis and detection of breast cancer. All the data used in this study are publicly available.

As one of the most commonly ordered imaging tests, computed tomography (CT) scan comes with inevitable radiation exposure that increases the cancer risk to patients. However, CT image quality is directly related to radiation dose, thus it is desirabl
e to obtain high-quality CT images with as little dose as possible. CT image denoising tries to obtain high dose like high-quality CT images (domain X) from low dose low-quality CTimages (domain Y), which can be treated as an image-to-image translation task where the goal is to learn the transform between a source domain X (noisy images) and a target domain Y (clean images). In this paper, we propose a multi-cycle-consistent adversarial network (MCCAN) that builds intermediate domains and enforces both local and global cycle-consistency for edge denoising of CT images. The global cycle-consistency couples all generators together to model the whole denoising process, while the local cycle-consistency imposes effective supervision on the process between adjacent domains. Experiments show that both local and global cycle-consistency are important for the success of MCCAN, which outperformsCCADN in terms of denoising quality with slightly less computation resource consumption.
Compressive sensing magnetic resonance imaging (CS-MRI) accelerates the acquisition of MR images by breaking the Nyquist sampling limit. In this work, a novel generative adversarial network (GAN) based framework for CS-MRI reconstruction is proposed.
Leveraging a combination of patch-based discriminator and structural similarity index based loss, our model focuses on preserving high frequency content as well as fine textural details in the reconstructed image. Dense and residual connections have been incorporated in a U-net based generator architecture to allow easier transfer of information as well as variable network length. We show that our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of quality of reconstruction and robustness to noise. Also, the reconstruction time, which is of the order of milliseconds, makes it highly suitable for real-time clinical use.
The application of supervised deep learning methods in digital pathology is limited due to their sensitivity to domain shift. Digital Pathology is an area prone to high variability due to many sources, including the common practice of evaluating seve
ral consecutive tissue sections stained with different staining protocols. Obtaining labels for each stain is very expensive and time consuming as it requires a high level of domain knowledge. In this article, we propose an unsupervised augmentation approach based on adversarial image-to-image translation, which facilitates the training of stain invariant supervised convolutional neural networks. By training the network on one commonly used staining modality and applying it to images that include corresponding, but differently stained, tissue structures, the presented method demonstrates significant improvements over other approaches. These benefits are illustrated in the problem of glomeruli segmentation in seven different staining modalities (PAS, Jones H&E, CD68, Sirius Red, CD34, H&E and CD3) and analysis of the learned representations demonstrate their stain invariance.
This paper aims to contribute in bench-marking the automatic polyp segmentation problem using generative adversarial networks framework. Perceiving the problem as an image-to-image translation task, conditional generative adversarial networks are uti
lized to generate masks conditioned by the images as inputs. Both generator and discriminator are convolution neural networks based. The model achieved 0.4382 on Jaccard index and 0.611 as F2 score.
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are highly effective unsupervised learning frameworks that can generate very sharp data, even for data such as images with complex, highly multimodal distributions. However GANs are known to be very hard to trai
n, suffering from problems such as mode collapse and disturbing visual artifacts. Batch normalization (BN) techniques have been introduced to address the training. Though BN accelerates the training in the beginning, our experiments show that the use of BN can be unstable and negatively impact the quality of the trained model. The evaluation of BN and numerous other recent schemes for improving GAN training is hindered by the lack of an effective objective quality measure for GAN models. To address these issues, we first introduce a weight normalization (WN) approach for GAN training that significantly improves the stability, efficiency and the quality of the generated samples. To allow a methodical evaluation, we introduce squared Euclidean reconstruction error on a test set as a new objective measure, to assess training performance in terms of speed, stability, and quality of generated samples. Our experiments with a standard DCGAN architecture on commonly used datasets (CelebA, LSUN bedroom, and CIFAR-10) indicate that training using WN is generally superior to BN for GANs, achieving 10% lower mean squared loss for reconstruction and significantly better qualitative results than BN. We further demonstrate the stability of WN on a 21-layer ResNet trained with the CelebA data set. The code for this paper is available at https://github.com/stormraiser/gan-weightnorm-resnet
