FrequencyCT: Frequency Domain Self-supervised Low-dose CT Denoising
Despite extensive research on computed tomography (CT) denoising, few studies exploit projection-domain data characteristics to mitigate noise correlation. To bridge this gap, this work proposes FrequencyCT, the first zero-shot self-supervised method for pseudo-sample generation in the frequency domain for low-dose CT denoising. Specifically, by exploiting the distinct frequency-domain distributions of noise and true signal, a regional low-frequency anchoring technique is proposed. Applying phase-preserving noise and mask perturbations to the high-frequency region generates pseudo-samples for self-supervision. Driven by the exponential correlation between noise variance of noisy projections and the underlying true signal, consistent data truncation is applied to the generated samples to stabilize optimization gradients. Evaluation results on multiple public and real datasets confirm the clinical application potential of this research, which provides an innovative perspective for the field of denoising.
