Trajectory-Aware Adaptive Imaging Clue Analysis for Guidewire Artifact Removal in Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography
The implementation of our paper "Trajectory-Aware Adaptive Imaging Clue Analysis for Guidewire Artifact Removal in Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography".
Guidewire Artifact Removal (GAR) involves restoring missing imaging signals in areas of IntraVascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) videos affected by guidewire artifacts. We propose a reliable Trajectory-aware Adaptive imaging Clue analysis Network (TAC-Net) to restore the actual vascular and lesion information within the artifact area
-
TAC-Net provides high-fidelity image reconstruction, improving the negative effects of guidewire artifacts, addressing the imaging defects in IVOCT, and eliminating the impact of missing signals.
-
Adaptive clue aggregation balances texture-structure clues using active weight control in a parallel architecture, resulting in the realistic restoration of subtle textures and variable structures.
-
Trajectory-aware Transformer effectively extracts highly artifact-related features by mining self-attention distributions, while avoiding the interference of unpredictable artifact trajectories.
