摘要
En 中文
By providing three-dimensional visualization of tissues and instruments at high resolution, live volumetric optical coherence tomography (4D-OCT) has the potential to revolutionize ophthalmic surgery. However, the necessary imaging speed is accompanied by increased noise levels. A high data rate and the requirement for minimal latency impose major limitations for real-time noise reduction. In this work, we propose a low complexity neural network for denoising, directly incorporated into the image reconstruction pipeline of a microscope-integrated 4D-OCT prototype with an A-scan rate of 1.2 MHz. For this purpose, we trained a blind-spot network on unpaired OCT images using a self-supervised learning approach. With an optimized U-Net, only a few milliseconds of additional latency were introduced. Simultaneously, these architectural adaptations improved the numerical denoising performance compared to the basic setup, outperforming non-local filtering algorithms. Layers and edges of anatomical structures in B-scans were better preserved than with Gaussian filtering despite comparable processing time. By comparing scenes with and without denoising employed, we show that neural networks can be used to improve visual appearance of volumetric renderings in real time. Enhancing the rendering quality is an important step for the clinical acceptance and translation of 4D-OCT as an intra-surgical guidance tool.
