Shrnutí:Deep learning techniques have emerged in de-noising low-dose computed tomography (CT) images to avoid the potential health risks of high ionizing radiation dose on patients. Although these post-processing methods display high quality denoised images, the denoising performance still has the potential to improve. The primary purpose of this work was to determine and analyze the most effective and efficient hybrid loss function in deep learning (DL)-based denoising network. Objective functions in deep learning algorithms are the main keys for optimizing the parameters of a network and can affect the quality of the denoised image significantly. Hence, this work examined the various combinations of the most common objective functions in CT denoising networks, namely L1 loss, per-pixel loss, perceptual loss, and structural dissimilarity loss. Further, a hyperparameter learning algorithm was also introduced to find the best scalable factors of the loss functions in each hybrid loss function combination. For simplic-ity, RED-CNN was used in this study to easily demonstrate the performance of the losses during the denoising process. Based on this experiment, the balance between these loss function via the gradient-based optimization algorithm could help in the generalizability prediction of designing future CT denoising networks.
