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 LUD-DIF, a diffusion-based method that solves inverse problems using unpaired data. By deriving the evidence lower bound of the joint distribution and decoupling it into two independent diffusion processes under a weak‑coupling assumption, the authors provide a variational inference framework, a loss function, and an error‑bound analysis. Experiments show that LUD‑DIF performs well across multiple image inverse problems, demonstrating its effectiveness and generalization in unpaired settings.

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.

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.

FLAT: FLow-Aligned Training of Unrolled Networks for MRI Reconstruction proposes a new training method for unrolled neural networks used in MRI reconstruction. By interpreting unrolled networks as discretizations of conditional probability flows, the authors derive cascade parameters from Flow Matching and align intermediate reconstructions with the ideal Flow Matching trajectory. Experiments on three MRI datasets demonstrate that FLAT stabilizes the reconstruction trajectory across sub-networks and improves the final reconstruction quality.
