Abstract: Although deep neural networks have been widely studied for medical imaging applications, most of them are supervised learning framework that requires matched label data. Unfortunately, in many medical imaging applications, high-quality label data is often difficult to obtain, so the need for unsupervised learning is increasing. In this talk, I will mainly focus on unsupervised learning in medical image reconstruction problems such as low-dose X-ray CT, accelerated MRI, ultrasound, optics, etc., when the matched target data are not available. In particular, we introduce a recent advance of generative models, in particular optimal transport-driven CycleGAN framework, which has a strong mathematical background and can be readily incorporated with the imaging physics. The use of optimal transport driven cycleGAN for low-dose X-ray CT, CT metal artifact removal, accelerated MRI, MR motion artifact removal, ultrasound imaging artifact removal, etc., which have been pioneered by our lab, will be also introduced.
