Dual-energy CT (DECT) exploits attenuation differences across different X-ray spectra to provide richer material information and has been widely used in medical imaging. While sparse-view acquisition can lower radiation exposure, it makes DECT material decomposition even more challenging, as the problem is nonlinear and ill-posed.
arXiv:2608. 15246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) reduces radiation dose by acquiring fewer projection views, but the resulting inverse problem is highly ill-posed and often produces severe streak artifacts.

X-ray computed tomography reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem, particularly in low-dose and sparse-angle settings where measurements are noisy and incomplete. While learned reconstruction methods such as the Learned Primal-Dual algorithm achieve strong performance, they typically rely on supervised training with access to ground-truth data, which is often unavailable in practice.

The paper introduces a deep dictionary network (DDN) foundation model designed for ultra‑low‑dose CT (ULDCT) denoising across multiple organs. By cascading convolutional sparse coding layers with iterative soft‑thresholding, the architecture offers inherent interpretability, while dynamic dictionary and threshold modules enhance representation. The model is pre‑trained on over one million normal‑dose CT images and fine‑tuned on multi‑organ ULDCT datasets, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance that consistently outperforms existing methods.
arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

The paper proposes a deep learning framework that learns priors for inverse problems by exploiting the relationship between proximal operators and Hamilton–Jacobi partial differential equations. Unlike existing methods that require inverting the prior after training, this approach learns the prior directly, enabling efficient evaluation in a single forward pass. Numerical experiments demonstrate the method’s effectiveness in dimensions up to 64.
