In this paper, we present a deep learning based image processing technique for extraction of bone structures in chest radiographs using a U-Net FCNN. The U-Net was trained to accomplish the task in a fully supervised setting. To create the training image pairs, we employed simulated X-Ray or Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs (DRR), derived from 664 CT scans belonging to the LIDC-IDRI dataset. Using HU based segmentation of bone structures in the CT domain,a synthetic 2D ?Bone x-ray? DRR is produced and used for training the network. For the reconstruction loss, we utilize two loss functions- L1 Loss and perceptual loss. Once the bone structures are extracted, the original image can be enhanced by fusing the original input x-ray and the synthesized ?Bone X-ray?. We show that our enhancement technique is applicable to real x-ray data, and display our results on the NIH Chest X-Ray-14 dataset.
