New physics-driven method enhances low-dose CT denoising

Researchers have developed a novel physics-driven framework for self-supervised low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) denoising. This method explicitly models the mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise inherent in LDCT measurements, a limitation in many existing self-supervised techniques. The framework separates noise components, processes them through distinct thinning operations to create independent noise realizations, and uses these to train an image-domain network. Experiments on simulated and real LDCT data demonstrate significant improvements over current self-supervised methods, achieving performance comparable to supervised approaches. AI

    Physics-Driven Independent Pair Generation for Iterative Self-Supervised Low-Dose CT Denoising

    arXiv:2609.02654v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) measurements contain mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise. However, most self-supervised methods rely on generic image statistics and do not explicitly model this noise, which may limit their ability to e…
