• Abstract summary: Retrospective artifact correction (RAC) improves image quality post acquisition and enhances image usability. Recent machine learning driven techniques for RAC are predominantly based on supervised learning. Here we show that unwanted image artifacts can be disentangled and removed from an image via an RAC neural network learned with unpaired data.

• Abstract: Retrospective artifact correction (RAC) improves image quality post acquisition and enhances image usability. Recent machine learning driven techniques for RAC are predominantly based on supervised learning and therefore practical utility can be limited as data with paired artifact-free and artifact-corrupted images are typically insufficient or even non-existent. Here we show that unwanted image artifacts can be disentangled and removed from an image via an RAC neural network learned with unpaired data. This implies that our method does not require matching artifact-corrupted data to be either collected via acquisition or generated via simulation. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is remarkably effective in removing artifacts and retaining anatomical details in images with different contrasts.

  Data-Free Knowledge Distillation (DFKD) is an advanced technique that enables knowledge transfer from a teacher model to a student model without relying on original training data. Previous approaches have generated synthetic images at high resolutions without leveraging information from real images. MUSE generates images at lower resolutions while using Class Activation Maps (CAMs) to ensure that the generated images retain critical, class-specific features.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

• Realistic Restorer: artifact-free flow restorer(AF2R) for MRI motion artifact removal [3.8103327351507255]
  Motion artifact severely degrades image quality, reduces examination efficiency, and makes accurate diagnosis difficult. Previous methods often relied on implicit models for artifact correction, resulting in biases in modeling the artifact formation mechanism. We incorporate the artifact generation mechanism to reestablish the relationship between artifacts and anatomical content in the image domain.

  Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) can be used to reduce radiation dose greatly but suffers from severe image artifacts. Deep learning based method for sparse-view CT reconstruction has attracted a major attention. We propose a patch-based denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) for sparse-view CT reconstruction.

  We introduce One-Shot medical image Artifact Reduction (OSAR), which exploits the power of deep learning but without using pre-trained general networks. Specifically, we train a light-weight image-specific artifact reduction network using data synthesized from the input image at test-time. We show that the proposed method can reduce artifacts better than state-of-the-art both qualitatively and quantitatively using shorter test time.
