Title
Computed Tomography Super-Resolution Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Abstract
The practical application of Computed Tomography (CT) faces the dilemma between higher image resolution and less X-ray exposure for patients, motivating the research on CT super-resolution (SR). In this paper, we apply state-of-the-art SR techniques to reconstruct CT images using two proposed advanced CT SR models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and residual learning: a single-slice CT SR network (S-CTSRN), and a multi-slice CT SR network (M-CTSRN). S-CTSRN improves the high-frequency feature extraction by incorporating the residual learning strategy, while M-CTSRN further utilizes the coherence between neighboring CT slices for better SR reconstruction. We evaluate both models on a large-scale CT dataset(1), and obtain competitive results both quantitatively and qualitatively.
