• Abstract summary: We present one efficient approach that improves the quality of an image with the optimization of network transmission. Pre-processing of X-ray images into low-resolution files by Real-ESRGAN helps reduce the server load and transmission bandwidth. Lower-resolution images are upscaled at the receiving end using Real-ESRGAN, fine-tuned for real-world image degradation.

• Abstract: While X-ray imaging is indispensable in medical diagnostics, it inherently carries with it those noises and limitations on resolution that mask the details necessary for diagnosis. B/W X-ray images require a careful balance between noise suppression and high-detail preservation to ensure clarity in soft-tissue structures and bone edges. While traditional methods, such as CNNs and early super-resolution models like ESRGAN, have enhanced image resolution, they often perform poorly regarding high-frequency detail preservation and noise control for B/W imaging. We are going to present one efficient approach that improves the quality of an image with the optimization of network transmission in the following paper. The pre-processing of X-ray images into low-resolution files by Real-ESRGAN, a version of ESRGAN elucidated and improved, helps reduce the server load and transmission bandwidth. Lower-resolution images are upscaled at the receiving end using Real-ESRGAN, fine-tuned for real-world image degradation. The model integrates Residual-in-Residual Dense Blocks with perceptual and adversarial loss functions for high-quality upscaled images with low noise. We further fine-tune Real-ESRGAN by adapting it to the specific B/W noise and contrast characteristics. This suppresses noise artifacts without compromising detail. The comparative evaluation conducted shows that our approach achieves superior noise reduction and detail clarity compared to state-of-the-art CNN-based and ESRGAN models, apart from reducing network bandwidth requirements. These benefits are confirmed both by quantitative metrics, including Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Structural Similarity Index, and by qualitative assessments, which indicate the potential of Real-ESRGAN for diagnostic-quality X-ray imaging and for efficient medical data transmission.

  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.
