• Abstract summary: We present a novel adversarial distortion learning (ADL) for denoising two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) biomedical image data. The proposed ADL consists of two auto-encoders: a denoiser and a discriminator. Both the denoiser and the discriminator are built upon a proposed auto-encoder called Efficient-Unet.

• Abstract: We present a novel adversarial distortion learning (ADL) for denoising two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) biomedical image data. The proposed ADL consists of two auto-encoders: a denoiser and a discriminator. The denoiser removes noise from input data and the discriminator compares the denoised result to its noise-free counterpart. This process is repeated until the discriminator cannot differentiate the denoised data from the reference. Both the denoiser and the discriminator are built upon a proposed auto-encoder called Efficient-Unet. Efficient-Unet has a light architecture that uses the residual blocks and a novel pyramidal approach in the backbone to efficiently extract and re-use feature maps. During training, the textural information and contrast are controlled by two novel loss functions. The architecture of Efficient-Unet allows generalizing the proposed method to any sort of biomedical data. The 2D version of our network was trained on ImageNet and tested on biomedical datasets whose distribution is completely different from ImageNet; so, there is no need for re-training. Experimental results carried out on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dermatoscopy, electron microscopy and X-ray datasets show that the proposed method achieved the best on each benchmark. Our implementation and pre-trained models are available at https://github.com/mogvision/ADL.

  This paper introduces an unsupervised medical image denoising technique that learns noise characteristics from the available images. It comprises of two blocks of data processing, viz., patch-based dictionaries that indirectly learn the noise and residual learning (RL) that directly learns the noise. Experiments on MRI/CT datasets are run on a GPU-based supercomputer and the comparative results show that the proposed algorithm preserves the critical information in the images as well as improves the visual quality of the images.

  Anomaly detection for Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) can be solved with unsupervised methods. We have proposed a slice-wise semi-supervised method for tumour detection based on the computation of a dissimilarity function in the latent space of a Variational AutoEncoder. We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
