Research on Medical Image Super-Resolution Reconstruction Algorithm Based on Dilated Convolution and Multi-Module Fusion.

Medical image resolution plays a crucial role in early disease detection and fine-structure observation. Super-resolution reconstruction technology can restore low-resolution images to high-resolution versions, thereby assisting physicians in making accurate diagnoses. To address challenges in medical image super-resolution reconstruction, including insufficient global information acquisition, excessive network complexity, and suboptimal loss function adaptation for medical imaging data, this paper proposes an image super-resolution reconstruction algorithm named IDCASR-MMF based on improved dilated convolution and multi-module fusion. First, multi-dilation-rate dilated convolution is introduced to expand the receptive field and integrated with a spatial attention mechanism to dynamically calibrate high-frequency features after feature extraction. Subsequently, the Squeeze-and-Excitation module is fused with dilated convolution as a channel attention mechanism to streamline the network architecture. Finally, a weighted fusion strategy combining adversarial loss and MSE loss is adopted, where the dynamic adjustment of weighting coefficients balances pixel-level structural accuracy and high-frequency detail authenticity, achieving synergistic optimization of objective precision and subjective quality for medical images. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, IDCASR-MMF is compared with 11 state-of-the-art methods across five datasets (Set5, Set14, BSD100, Urban100, and Bone FD). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves superior PSNR and SSIM values on multiple datasets, confirming that IDCASR-MMF can effectively reconstruct high-resolution medical images from low-resolution inputs.
