Different from the existing MRI denoising methods that utilizing the spatial neighbor information around the pixels or patches, this work turns to capture the pixel-level distribution information by means of supervised network learning. A wide and progressive network learning strategy is proposed, via fitting the distribution at pixel-level and feature-level with large convolutional filters. The whole network is trained in a two-stage fashion, consisting of the residual network in pixel domain with batch normalization layer and in feature domain without batch normalization layer. Experiments demonstrate its great potential with substantially improved SNR and preserved edges and structures.
