基于改进SRGAN网络的CT图像增强应用研究

Application research of CT image enhancement based on improved SRGAN network

  • 摘要: 目前临床上通常通过观察CT图像或MRI图像诊断椎间盘疾病.CT图像较MRI图像成本低、成片速度快,但存在对比度低,椎间盘病灶区模糊,边缘不明显等问题.针对以上问题,提出一种改进的SRGAN网络的CT图像增强方法.该方法使用自适应分割融合方法做图像预处理,在SRGAN的生成器中引入注意力机制;同时加入边界损失函数,使增强后的CT图像的病灶区更加清晰,边缘更加明显。该方法在河南省人民医院提供的真实头颈CT图像和MR图像上进行实验,选用经典的图像增强算法和目前最新的图像增强算法做对比,对增强后CT图像进行客观评价,同时由两名临床医生通过5分制图像质量评估标准对增强后的CT图像进行主观评估.结果显示:该方法显著提升了CT图像的SSIM、PSNR、信息熵、边缘强度和平均梯度,同时增强后的CT图像病灶区更加清晰,边缘更加明显,医生也对增强后的CT图像有很好的评估.

     

    Abstract: At present, intervertebral disc diseases can be diagnosed by observing CT images or MRI images. Compared with MRI images, CT images have low cost and fast film forming speed, but there are some problems, such as low contrast, fuzzy focus area of intervertebral disc, unclear edge and so on. To solve the above problems, an improved CT image enhancement method based on SRGAN network is proposed. In this method, the adaptive segmentation and fusion method is used for image preprocessing, the BN layer is removed from the SRGAN generator, and the attention mechanism is introduced to make each residual block generate the feature map to obtain the corresponding weight. At the same time, the boundary loss function is added to make the reconstructed lesion area clearer and the edge more obvious. This method is tested on the real head and neck CT images and MRI images provided by Henan people's hospital. The classical image enhancement algorithm is compared with the latest image enhancement algorithm to objectively evaluate the enhanced CT images. At the same time, two clinicians subjectively evaluate the enhanced CT images through the 5-point image quality evaluation standard. The results show that this method significantly improves the SSIM, PSNR, information entropy, edge intensity and average gradient of CT image, makes the focus area of CT image clearer and the edge more obvious, which is convenient for doctors to read and diagnose, and has strong application value.
