Abstract
A universal PET image denoising framework addresses variability in dose reduction factors through domain generalization techniques and region-aware learning strategies.
Most existing deep learning-based PET image denoising methods assume a fixed and knowndose reduction factor(DRF) for low-dose PET images. However, these methods encounter significant performance degradation when the DRF varies beyond the assumed one in practical applications. To address the challenge posed by varied DRFs, several preliminary studies focus on the task ofuniversal PET image denoising, aiming to train a universal model over low-dose data across DRFs. Nonetheless, these vanilla universal models often struggle with misaligned styles present in different DRF data, leading to thestyle elimination issuewith a significantover-smoothing effect. To deal with this issue, we innovatively introducedomain generalizationto PET image denoising and propose auniversal PET image denoisingnetwork (UniPET) to achieve high-quality PET image denoising across diverse DRFs. UniPET comprises two primary innovations: astyle alignment network(SAN) and aregion-aware learning strategy(RALS). Specifically, SAN utilizes style alignment techniques derived fromdomain generalizationto align and recover styles across different DRFs, ensuring the model’s generalizability across various DRFs while effectively preserving styles. Furthermore, to enhance style recovery, RALS distinguishes between flat and stylized regions, exclusively conductingadversarial learningon the latter, thereby more effectively guiding the model’s focus towards learning stylized regions. It is demonstrated that our proposed UniPET can adaptively recover different DRF styles and achieve high-quality PET image denoising across DRFs. Comprehensive experiments show that UniPET exhibits comparable performance to individual DRF-specific models at specific DRFs and realizes state-of-the-art performance inuniversal PET image denoisingquantitatively, perceptually, and clinically.
