RED_CNN

Implementation of Low-Dose CT with a Residual Encoder-Decoder Convolutional Neural Network (RED-CNN)

There is several things different from the original paper.

• The input image patch(64x64 size) is extracted randomly from the 512x512 size image. --> Original : Extract patches at regular intervals from the entire image.
• use Adam optimizer

Use

Check the arguments.

1. run python prep.py to convert 'dicom file' to 'numpy array'
2. run python main.py --load_mode=0 to training. If the available memory(RAM) is more than 10GB, it is faster to run --load_mode=1.
3. run python main.py --mode='test' --test_iters=100000 to test.
