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.

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.

The paper introduces a high‑resolution Rectified Flow Matching model trained on 256×256 chest CT images to serve as a generative prior for CT reconstruction. A two‑stage training strategy—initial strong anatomically informed augmentation followed by fine‑tuning—helps mitigate overfitting and improve structural fidelity. When evaluated on various CT inverse problems, Flow Matching‑based reconstruction methods outperform diffusion‑based algorithms in PSNR, SSIM, and perceptual quality while requiring fewer sampling steps.

The paper introduces CoSMo-RecNet, a modular framework for multi-contrast MRI reconstruction that operates effectively in low-data regimes. It leverages a reusable content/style prior learned from large, unpaired multi-contrast image datasets, allowing a lightweight unrolled network to refine reconstructions using only a few task‑specific training samples. Experiments on low‑field 0.3 T and ultra‑low‑field 47 mT datasets demonstrate that CoSMo-RecNet outperforms parameter‑matched MoDL, classical reconstruction, transfer learning, and zero‑shot methods, achieving higher quality with as few as five training subjects.

arXiv:2606. 16212v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse-view CT reduces radiation dose and scanning time by acquiring fewer projection views, but angular undersampling makes reconstruction severely ill-posed, causing streak artifacts, structural blurring, and loss of fine details.
