Abstract(in English) In medical diagnosis, high resolution images are necessary. However, it often takes too much processing time for MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT(Computed Tomography) to obtain the high resolution images, which leads to a burden of capturing images for a patient. To solve this problem, super resolution is proposed to generate higher resolution images from lower ones arithmetically. On the other hand, deep learning, as an effective machine learning method has many applications in variety fields. In this research, we applied the deep learning technique for medical image super resolution. The validity of our method is verified in 2D medical images. In addition, our method is also applicable to 3D images and the super resolution images are used for reconstruction of coronal plane and sagittal plane. Experiments showed that the use of our proposed method achieves superior results tested on an axial plane database.
