• Abstract summary: This paper presents a super-resolution (SR) method with unpaired training dataset of clinical CT and micro CT volumes. We propose a SR approach based on CycleGAN, which could perform SR on clinical CT into $mu$CT level. Experimental results demonstrated that our proposed method successfully performed SR of clinical CT volume of lung cancer patients into $mu$CT level.

• Abstract: This paper presents a super-resolution (SR) method with unpaired training dataset of clinical CT and micro CT volumes. For obtaining very detailed information such as cancer invasion from pre-operative clinical CT volumes of lung cancer patients, SR of clinical CT volumes to $\m$}CT level is desired. While most SR methods require paired low- and high- resolution images for training, it is infeasible to obtain paired clinical CT and {\mu}CT volumes. We propose a SR approach based on CycleGAN, which could perform SR on clinical CT into $\mu$CT level. We proposed new loss functions to keep cycle consistency, while training without paired volumes. Experimental results demonstrated that our proposed method successfully performed SR of clinical CT volume of lung cancer patients into $\mu$CT level.

  Supervised deep learning methods have shown the ability to remove noise in images but require accurate ground truth. We propose a novel self-supervised framework for LDCT, in which ground truth is not required for training the convolutional neural network (CNN) Numerical and experimental results show that the reconstruction accuracy of N2I with sparse views is degrading while the proposed rotational augmented Noise2Inverse (RAN2I) method keeps better image quality over a different range of sampling angles.
