Noise2Match: Self-Supervised Low-Dose CT Denoising via Adaptive Inter-Slice Matching

With the rapid development of deep learning, supervised convolutional neural network methods have greatly improved the performance of low-dose computed tomography (CT) denoising.

Key points

  • Some classic self-supervised denoising methods rely on the assumption of pixel-wise independent noise, making them ineffective for correlated noise in low-dose CT (LDCT) images.
  • In this paper, we propose Noise2Match, a self-supervised LDCT denoising method based on adaptive inter-slice matching.
  • Noise2Match introduces an inter-slice matching network to model the label transition process between adjacent slices, and then applies correction to the denoiser's outputs to better satisfy the equal-mean condition.
  • We further find that Noise2Match can also effectively perform low-dose conebeam CT (CBCT) denoising, which could be attributed to its correction operation that reduces inter-slice noise correlation.
