For the shortcomings of poor interpretation ability and instability in neural network training, a Chambolle- Pock (CP) algorithm optimized denoising network based on Total Variational (TV) regularization, CPTV-Net, was proposed to solve the denoising problem of Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) images. Firstly, the TV constraint term was introduced into the L1 regularization term model to preserve the structural information of the image. Secondly, the CP algorithm was used to solve the denoising model and obtain specific iterative steps to ensure the convergence of the algorithm. Finally, the shallow CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) was used to learn the iterative formula of the primal dual variables of the linear operation. The neural network was used to calculate the solution of the model, and the network parameters were collected to optimize the combined data. The experimental results on simulated and real LDCT datasets show that compared with five advanced denoising methods such as REDCNN (Residual Encoder-Decoder Convolutional Neural Network) and TED-Net (Transformer Encoder-decoder Dilation Network), CPTV-Net has the best Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structural SIMilarity (SSIM), and Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) evaluation values, and can generate LDCT images with significant denoising effect and the most details preserved.
