Abstract: It is important to study the image quality assessment algorithm of low-dose-CT images for COVID-19.However,with the increase of the number of network layers,the gradient will disappear for the method based on deep learning.To solve this problem,this paper proposes DenseNet algorithm based on mixed domain attention.DenseNet solves the problem of gradient vanishing while reducing parameters through feature reuse and tight connection of network.Based on the attention mechanism of human vision,it adopts the combination of bottom-up and top-down structure to realize spatial attention.Based on the multi-channel characteristics of human vision,this paper ignores the information in the channel domain for spatial attention,studies and introduces the mixed domain attention to DenseNet.Spearman rank order correlation coefficient and Pearson linear correlation coefficient are used to measure the consistency between objective assessment method and subjective assessment method.The experimental results show that this method can simulate the human visual characteristics better,and evaluate the quality of low-dose-CT more accurately.The evaluation results are in good agreement with the subjective feelings of human vision.

Key words: COVID-19, CT images, DenseNet, Low-dose, Mixed domain attention
