Prior term Regularization term • Classical approaches for inverse problems • Tikhonov, TV, Compressed sensing • Top-down model • Transductive à non-inductive • Computational expensive
CNN based regularization • CNN is used as a denoiser • Can use relative small CNNs à fewer training data • Supervised learning • Still iterative Aggarwal et al, IEEE TMI, 2018; Liu et al, IEEE JSTSP, 2020; Wu et al, IEEE JSTSP, 2020
low-dose, Phase 3 ~ 10: normal dose – Goal: dynamic changes of heart structure – No reference available Kang et al, Medical Physics, 2018 Case 1: Unsupervised Denoising for Low-Dose CT
2020 Metal artifact images Artifact-free images Metal artifact generation physics (beam-hardening, photon starvation, etc.) à Highly complicated to learn Motivation • Less focus on the artifact generation • More emphasis on MAR
image reconstruction • Our theoretical findings • Optimal transport is an important mathematical tool for designing unsupervised networks • CycleGAN can be derived by minimizing two Wasserstein-1 distances in input and target spaces • Variation extensions of CycleGAN • Geometric view can be generalized for other problems
