"Low-dose CT Image Synthesis for Domain Adaptation Imaging Using a Gene" by Ming Li, Jiping Wang et al.
Deep learning (DL) based image processing methods have been successfully applied to low-dose x-ray images based on the assumption that the feature distribution of the training data is consistent with that of the test data. However, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) images from different commercial scanners may contain different amounts and types of image noise, violating this assumption. Moreover, in the application of DL based image processing methods to LDCT, the feature distributions of LDCT images from simulation and clinical CT examination can be quite different. Therefore, the network ...
