Colorization for medical images helps make medical visualizations more engaging, provides better visualization in 3D reconstruction, acts as an image enhancement technique for tasks such as segmentation, and makes it easier for non-specialists to perceive tissue changes and texture details in medical images in diagnosis and teaching. However, colorization algorithms have been hindered by limited semantic understanding. In addition, current colorization methods still rely on paired data, which is often not available for specific fields such as medical imaging. To address the texture detail of medical images and the scarcity of paired data, we propose a self-supervised colorization framework based on CycleGAN(Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Networks), treating the colorization problem of medical images as a cross-modal domain transfer problem in color space. The proposed framework focuses on global edge features and semantic information by introducing edge-aware detectors, multi-modal discriminators, and a semantic feature fusion module. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can generate high-quality color medical images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
