    摘要: Proposed concepts aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods and systems pertaining to the storage, retrieval and/or communication of medical images. In particular, the medical image is de-noised to generate a (substantially) noise-free medical image. De-noising the medical image to this extent allows for a high compression ratio, and thus space-efficient storage of the medical image. However, typically the level to which medical image is de-noised has to be carefully controlled in order to minimise the chance of introducing errors to the medical image. In the present invention, noise information describing residual noise data removed from the medical image is also stored. This allows for the compressed noise-free medical image to be combined with the noise information at a receiver, restoring any potentially lost information. In this way, a space-efficient means for storing a medical image is provided, which also overcomes problems associated with heavily de-noising the medical image.

    摘要: A method is provided for processing images comprising retrieving measured data for a first image. The method then generates partially filtered data by applying a first filter to the measured data. The first filter is a generic filter. The method then reconstructs the partially filtered data to generate a partially filtered image. The method then generates a partially processed image by applying a first processing routine to the partially filtered image. The method then generates a filtered image by applying a second filter to the partially processed image, where the second filter is a filter selected from a plurality of potential secondary filters. The method then outputs the filtered image. Systems are provided for implementing the claimed method and training methods for neural networks used in the method are provided as well.

    摘要: A processing component (122) processes images based on an iterative reconstruction algorithm with regularization and/or de-noising algorithm. The processing component includes a set point determiner (224) that determines a quality set point (216) between predetermined lower and upper quality bounds (226) based on a quality variable (228) indicative of an image quality of interest. The processing component further includes a comparator (214) that compares, each processing iteration, a quality metric of a current generated image with the quality set point and generates a difference value indicative of a difference between the quality metric and the quality set point. The processing component further includes a regularization factor updater (220) that generates an updated regularization factor for a next processing iteration based on a current value (222) of the regularization factor and at least the quality metric in response to the difference value indicating that the quality metric is outside of a predetermined range about the quality set point.
