New ENCORE framework enhances low-dose CT image denoising

Researchers have developed a new framework called ENCORE for denoising low-dose computed tomography (CT) images. This framework explicitly considers the unique noise characteristics of CT scans, moving beyond generic image denoising models. ENCORE reformulates noise synthesis based on a more realistic noise distribution and extracts local noise power and correlation contexts. It also introduces a FlyingConv module that adaptively adjusts convolution weights for different image regions, improving both denoising quality and computational efficiency. Additionally, ENCORE allows for zero-shot conditional denoising by manipulating noise context maps at inference time, enabling dynamic control over output image texture. AI

    ENCORE: Efficient Noise Context-Aware Representation for Low-Dose CT Denoising

    arXiv:2608.10343v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While deep learning-based denoising has become widely adopted in low-dose CT, conventional models use generic architectures designed for natural images, failing to account for non-stationary and spatially correlated CT noise charact…
