On the Benefit of Dual-domain Denoising in a Self-supervised Low-dose CT Setting
Computed tomography (CT) is routinely used for three-dimensional non-invasive imaging. Numerous data-driven image denoising algorithms were proposed to restore image quality in low-dose acquisitions. However, considerably less research investigates methods already intervening in the raw detector data due to limited access to suitable projection data or correct reconstruction algorithms. In this work, we present an end-to-end trainable CT reconstruction pipeline that contains denoising operators in both the projection and the image domain and that are optimized simultaneously without requiring ground-truth high-dose CT data. Our experiments demonstrate that including an additional projection denoising operator improved the overall denoising performance by 82.4-94.1%/12.5-41.7% (PSNR/SSIM) on abdomen CT and 1.5-2.9%/0.4-0.5% (PSNR/SSIM) on XRM data relative to the low-dose baseline. We make our entire helical CT reconstruction framework publicly available that contains a raw projection rebinning step to render helical projection data suitable for differentiable fan-beam reconstruction operators and end-to-end learning.

Self2Seg: Single-Image Self-Supervised Joint Segmentation and Denoising
We develop Self2Seg, a self-supervised method for the joint segmentation and denoising of a single image. To this end, we combine the advantages of variational segmentation with self-supervised deep learning. One major b…
