Multi-stage deep disassembling networks for generating bone-only and tissue-only images from chest radiographs

RSNA 2018

​

Generate bone-only and tissue-only images from one single DR image

Conventional methods: dual energy imaging

GT: Dual Energy image 461 cases of DE DR

Architecture: predict coarse image first, then use smaller receptive field to focus on details

Predict bone image, then subtract it to keep fine details

SSIM > 0.98 for tissue only images

• Foreign objects not excluded. Only produce bone-only image
• Did not use ResNet, see paper DDSR
