Mammography is using low-energy X-rays to screen the human breast and is utilized by radiologists to detect breast cancer. Typically radiologists require a mammogram with impeccable image quality for an accurate diagnosis. In this study, we propose a deep learning method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for mammogram denoising to improve the image quality. We first enhance the noise level and employ Anscombe Transformation (AT) to transform Poisson noise to white Gaussian noise. With this data augmentation, a deep residual network is trained to learn the noise map of the noisy images. We show, that the proposed method can remove not only simulated but also real noise. Furthermore, we also compare our results with state-of-the-art denoising methods, such as BM3D and DNCNN. In an early investigation, we achieved qualitatively better mammogram denoising results.

Medical image analysis using deep neural networks has been actively studied. Deep neural networks are trained by learning data. For accurate training of deep neural networks, the learning data should be sufficient, of good quality, and should have a
generalized property. However, in medical images, it is difficult to acquire sufficient patient data because of the difficulty of patient recruitment, the burden of annotation of lesions by experts, and the invasion of patients privacy. In comparison, the medical images of healthy volunteers can be easily acquired. Using healthy brain images, the proposed method synthesizes multi-contrast magnetic resonance images of brain tumors. Because tumors have complex features, the proposed method simplifies them into concentric circles that are easily controllable. Then it converts the concentric circles into various realistic shapes of tumors through deep neural networks. Because numerous healthy brain images are easily available, our method can synthesize a huge number of the brain tumor images with various concentric circles. We performed qualitative and quantitative analysis to assess the usefulness of augmented data from the proposed method. Intuitive and interesting experimental results are available online at https://github.com/KSH0660/BrainTumor
Subsea images measured by the side scan sonars (SSSs) are necessary visual data in the process of deep-sea exploration by using the autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). They could vividly reflect the topography of the seabed, but usually accompanie
d by complex and severe noise. This paper proposes a deep denoising method for SSS images without high-quality reference data, which uses one single noise SSS image to perform self-supervised denoising. Compared with the classical artificially designed filters, the deep denoising method shows obvious advantages. The denoising experiments are performed on the real seabed SSS images, and the results demonstrate that our proposed method could effectively reduce the noise on the SSS image while minimizing the image quality and detail loss.
We present a virtual image refocusing method over an extended depth of field (DOF) enabled by cascaded neural networks and a double-helix point-spread function (DH-PSF). This network model, referred to as W-Net, is composed of two cascaded generator
and discriminator network pairs. The first generator network learns to virtually refocus an input image onto a user-defined plane, while the second generator learns to perform a cross-modality image transformation, improving the lateral resolution of the output image. Using this W-Net model with DH-PSF engineering, we extend the DOF of a fluorescence microscope by ~20-fold. This approach can be applied to develop deep learning-enabled image reconstruction methods for localization microscopy techniques that utilize engineered PSFs to improve their imaging performance, including spatial resolution and volumetric imaging throughput.
Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a tool for improving accelerated MRI reconstruction. A common strategy among DL methods is the physics-based approach, where a regularized iterative algorithm alternating between data consistency and a regularizer is
unrolled for a finite number of iterations. This unrolled network is then trained end-to-end in a supervised manner, using fully-sampled data as ground truth for the network output. However, in a number of scenarios, it is difficult to obtain fully-sampled datasets, due to physiological constraints such as organ motion or physical constraints such as signal decay. In this work, we tackle this issue and propose a self-supervised learning strategy that enables physics-based DL reconstruction without fully-sampled data. Our approach is to divide the acquired sub-sampled points for each scan into training and validation subsets. During training, data consistency is enforced over the training subset, while the validation subset is used to define the loss function. Results show that the proposed self-supervised learning method successfully reconstructs images without fully-sampled data, performing similarly to the supervised approach that is trained with fully-sampled references. This has implications for physics-based inverse problem approaches for other settings, where fully-sampled data is not available or possible to acquire.
Medical image segmentation is an important task for computer aided diagnosis. Pixelwise manual annotations of large datasets require high expertise and is time consuming. Conventional data augmentations have limited benefit by not fully representing
the underlying distribution of the training set, thus affecting model robustness when tested on images captured from different sources. Prior work leverages synthetic images for data augmentation ignoring the interleaved geometric relationship between different anatomical labels. We propose improvements over previous GAN-based medical image synthesis methods by jointly encoding the intrinsic relationship of geometry and shape. Latent space variable sampling results in diverse generated images from a base image and improves robustness. Given those augmented images generated by our method, we train the segmentation network to enhance the segmentation performance of retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art segmentation methods on the public RETOUCH dataset having images captured from different acquisition procedures. Ablation studies and visual analysis also demonstrate benefits of integrating geometry and diversity.
