Unsupervised Coordinate Projection Network for Sparse-View Computed Tomography

Sparse-view Computed Tomography (SVCT) has great potential for decreasing patient radiation exposure dose during scanning. We propose SCOPE, a self-supervised coordinate projection network, for artifact-free CT image reconstruction from sparse-view sinograms. By leveraging an implicit neural representation network and a novel re-projection strategy, we improve the solution space and stability of the inverse problem. The CT image is represented as an implicit function of spatial coordinates, and a dense-view sinogram is generated. Filtered Back Projection is then applied for final reconstruction. Our SCOPE model, integrated with hash encoding, achieves state-of-the-art results in sparse-view CT image reconstruction, surpassing recent INR-based and supervised DL methods.

Robust self-supervised 3D isotropic fetal brain MRI reconstruction.

We propose a robust self-supervised volume reconstruction technique for fetal MR images, addressing slice misalignment and motion artifacts. Our approach involves two learning modules: one for high-fidelity 3D volume reconstruction and another for 2D slice misalignment correction. The volume reconstruction module utilizes a comprehensive forward model and an under-parameterized deep decoder to eliminate artifacts caused by misalignment and motion. Additionally, the misalignment correction module employs iterative slice-to-volume registration. Our self-supervised DL methodology achieves state-of-the-art performance in 3D fetal brain reconstruction without relying on ground truth references.

An Arbitrary Scale Super-Resolution Approach for 3D MR Images

We introduce ArSSR, an Arbitrary Scale Super-Resolution approach for recovering 3D high-resolution (HR) MR images. The ArSSR model employs a shared implicit neural voxel function to represent both the low-resolution (LR) and HR images, allowing for arbitrary up-sampling rates. By training the model on paired HR and LR examples, the implicit voxel function is approximated using deep neural networks. The ArSSR model comprises an encoder network for feature extraction and a decoder network to approximate the implicit voxel function. Experimental results demonstrate that the ArSSR model achieves state-of-the-art performance in 3D HR MR image reconstruction, with the ability to handle arbitrary up-sampling scales using a single trained model.

Temporal consistent longitudinal brain atlas construction using Implicit Neural Representation

We propose a deep-learning framework to improve longitudinal brain atlases. By treating the issue as a 4D image denoising task, our framework generates a continuous and noise-free atlas using implicit neural representation. This approach addresses temporal inconsistency caused by averaging discrete time points independently and differences in onto-genetic trends. Evaluation on two types of brain atlases demonstrates enhanced temporal consistency and accurate representation of brain structures. Additionally, our method enables the creation of higher-resolution 4D atlases.

Zero-shot Learning for Image Denoising

We proposes a self-supervised image denoising method called Noise2SR (N2SR) to address the limitations of existing methods in real scene noise removal. N2SR trains a simple and effective denoising model using paired noisy images of different dimensions. This training strategy enables efficient self-supervision and restoration of more image details from a single noisy observation. Experimental results demonstrate that N2SR outperforms other self-supervised deep learning denoising methods in simulated and microscopy noise removal. N2SR holds promise for enhancing the quality of various scientific imaging applications.
