• Title: Improved Padding in CNNs for Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping
• Authors: Juan Liu
• Abstract summary: We propose an improved padding technique which utilizes the neighboring valid voxels to estimate the invalid voxels of feature maps at volume boundaries in the neural networks. Studies using simulated and in-vivo data show that the proposed padding greatly improves estimation accuracy and reduces artifacts in the results in the tasks of background field removal, field-to-source inversion, and single-step QSM reconstruction.

• Abstract: Recently, deep learning methods have been proposed for quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) data processing: background field removal, field-to-source inversion, and single-step QSM reconstruction. However, the conventional padding mechanism used in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can introduce spatial artifacts, especially in QSM background field removal and single-step QSM which requires inference from total fields with extreme large values at the edge boundaries of volume of interest. To address this issue, we propose an improved padding technique which utilizes the neighboring valid voxels to estimate the invalid voxels of feature maps at volume boundaries in the neural networks. Studies using simulated and in-vivo data show that the proposed padding greatly improves estimation accuracy and reduces artifacts in the results in the tasks of background field removal, field-to-source inversion, and single-step QSM reconstruction.

  We propose a Difusion-based Anomaly Detection (DiAD) framework for multi-class anomaly detection.

Experiments on MVTec-AD and VisA datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
