Dilated Convolution ResNet with Boosting Attention Modules and Combined Loss Functions for LDCT Image Denoising
With the increasing concern regarding the radiation exposure of patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers have been using deep learning techniques to improve the quality of denoised low-dose CT (LDCT) images. In this paper, a cascaded dilated residual network (ResNet) with integrated attention modules, specifically spatial- and channel- attention modules, is proposed. This…
