• Abstract: Low-dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) reconstruction is an important task in medical image analysis. Recent years have seen many deep learning based methods, proved to be effective in this area. However, these methods mostly follow a supervised architecture, which needs paired CT image of full dose and quarter dose, and the solution is highly dependent on specific measurements. In this work, we introduce Denoising Diffusion LDCT Model, dubbed as DDLM, generating noise-free CT image using conditioned sampling. DDLM uses pretrained model, and need no training nor tuning process, thus our proposal is in unsupervised manner. Experiments on LDCT images have shown comparable performance of DDLM using less inference time, surpassing other state-of-the-art methods, proving both accurate and efficient. Implementation code will be set to public soon.

  Denoising low-dose computed tomography (CT) images is a critical task in medical image computing. Existing unsupervised deep learning-based methods often require training with a large number of low-dose CT images. We propose a novel unsupervised method that only utilizes normal-dose CT images during training, enabling zero-shot denoising of low-dose CT images.

• Self-supervised Physics-based Denoising for Computed Tomography [2.2758845733923687]
  Computed Tomography (CT) imposes risk on the patients due to its inherent X-ray radiation. Lowering the radiation dose reduces the health risks but leads to noisier measurements, which decreases the tissue contrast and causes artifacts in CT images. Modern deep learning noise suppression methods alleviate the challenge but require low-noise-high-noise CT image pairs for training. We introduce a new self-supervised approach for CT denoising Noise2NoiseTD-ANM that can be trained without the high-dose CT projection ground truth images.

• No-reference denoising of low-dose CT projections [2.7716102039510564]
  Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) became a clear trend in radiology with an aspiration to refrain from delivering excessive X-ray radiation to the patients. The reduction of the radiation dose decreases the risks to the patients but raises the noise level, affecting the quality of the images and their ultimate diagnostic value. One mitigation option is to consider pairs of low-dose and high-dose CT projections to train a denoising model using deep learning algorithms; however, such pairs are rarely available in practice. In this paper, we present a new self-supervised method for CT denoising. Unlike existing self-supervised
