مستخلص: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been extensively utilized in the field of biomedical imaging due to its non-invasive nature and its ability to provide high-resolution, in-depth imaging of biological tissues. However, the use of low-coherence light can lead to unintended interference phenomena within the sample, which inevitably introduces speckle noise into the imaging results. This type of noise often obscures key features in the image, thereby reducing the accuracy of medical diagnoses. Existing denoising algorithms, while removing noise, tend to also damage the structural details of the image, affecting the quality of diagnosis. To overcome this challenge, we have proposed a speckle noise (PSN) framework. The core of this framework is an innovative dual-module noise generator that can decompose the noise in OCT images into speckle noise and equipment noise, addressing each type independently. By integrating the physical properties of noise into the design of the noise generator and training it with unpaired data, we are able to synthesize realistic noise images that match clear images. These synthesized paired images are then used to train a denoiser to effectively denoise real OCT images. Our method has demonstrated its superiority in both private and public datasets, particularly in maintaining the integrity of the image structure. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the physical information of noise in denoising tasks, providing a new perspective and solution for enhancing OCT image denoising technology.
