Reconstructing 3D Computed Tomography (CT) images from a few X-ray projections is a highly ill-posed inverse problem due to the loss of volumetric information. We propose PhyDiCT, a training-free fram...

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: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.
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.

arXiv:2607. 02998v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Controllable generative models of 3D medical images can synthesize volumes with specified clinical attributes, but this demands samples that are simultaneously high-fidelity, natively 3D, and faithful to the requested conditioning.

The paper introduces a 3D-CLIP encoder trained with structured hard negatives to improve vision‑language alignment for text‑to‑CT generation. This encoder drives a latent diffusion model that operates directly in 3D latent space, eliminating spatial artifacts from super‑resolution pipelines. Experiments on the CT‑RATE dataset show state‑of‑the‑art image fidelity and factual correctness across 18 pathological conditions, with lower inference time and GPU memory usage than competing methods.
arXiv:2506. 00633v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generating semantically controllable 3D CT volumes from radiology reports requires more than a rich text encoder, it requires vision-language alignment grounded in volumetric space.
