A generative adversarial network denoising algorithm which uses a combination of three kinds of loss functions was proposed to avoid the loss of image details in the denoising process. The mean square error loss function was used to make the denoising results similar to the original images, the perceptual loss function was used to understand the image semantic information, and the adversarial learning loss function was used to make images more realistic. The algorithm used the deep residual network, the densely connected convolutional network and a wide and shallow network as the component in the replaceable module of the network. The results show that the three networks tested can make images more detailed and have better peak signal to noise ratio while removing image noise. Among them, the wide and shallow network which uses fewer layers, larger convolution kernels and more feature maps achieves the best result.
