Sparse-view computed tomography is a severely ill-posed inverse problem, where recent 3D Gaussian Splatting methods offer an efficient explicit representation for tomographic reconstruction. However, we find that projection-domain optimization can be misleading in this setting: the rendered projections may continue to improve while the reconstructed volume deteriorates.

The paper introduces Conditional Diffusion Posterior Alignment (CDPA), a method that scales diffusion-based sparse‑view CT reconstruction to large 3D volumes by conditioning a 2D U‑Net diffusion model on an initial 3D reconstruction and enforcing data‑consistency alignment. CDPA addresses high memory demands, limited 3D training data, and slice‑wise inconsistencies, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on synthetic and real Cone Beam CT data. The authors also demonstrate that the same approach improves fast denoising U‑Nets, delivering near‑diffusion quality at a fraction of the computational cost.
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.

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.
arXiv:2607. 11941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) is a critical imaging modality for clinical diagnosis, but reducing radiation dose inevitably introduces severe noise and structured artifacts that degrade image quality.
The paper introduces a physics‑guided, data‑driven framework for reconstructing dense ultrasound RF data from sparse acquisitions. It trains an end‑to‑end interpolation network with a hybrid RF‑ and beamforming‑domain loss, stabilized by exponential moving average, and employs random‑skip masking to generalize across varying sparsity patterns and channel configurations. On a held‑out test set, the method achieves a mean SSIM of about 0.95 across decimation factors from ×2 to ×13, consistently improving RF reconstruction and post‑beamforming image quality.
arXiv:2606. 09953v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Head computed tomography (CT) typically uses sub-millimeter in-plane resolution but 2-5 mm through-plane spacing, creating substantial anisotropy that degrades multiplanar reconstructions, volumetric measurements such as hematoma volume estimation, and downstream algorithms that assume near-isotropic voxels.

The paper introduces $K$-NeAS, a scalable neural architecture for multi-material CT reconstruction that replaces separate material networks with a shared latent backbone and a differentiable $K$-material soft selector. It automates attenuation bounds using a Gaussian Mixture Model and adds a scheduled auxiliary floater loss to reduce geometric hallucinations in sparse-view settings. Evaluated on four clinical CBCT datasets, $K$-NeAS achieves higher 3D volumetric fidelity—up to a 1.88 dB PSNR gain over a single-material baseline—and shows improved robustness under extreme sparsity, outperforming baselines by up to 1.17 dB.
