Learning Where and What to Lift for Bi-planar X-ray-to-CT Reconstruction

The paper introduces LiftXR, a geometry‑guided framework that first reconstructs a 3D anatomical layout from bi‑planar X‑ray images and then uses this layout to guide CT volume reconstruction. An anatomical parser refines the layout by analyzing the reconstructed CT, enabling region‑specific intensity calibration. Experiments on two public datasets show LiftXR surpasses recent X‑ray‑to‑CT methods and improves downstream segmentation performance.

FleXray: Universal Clinical X-ray Segmentation

arXiv:2609.26756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: X-ray is medicine's most widely used imaging modality, yet remains among its least quantitative. Unlike volumetric modalities like CT or MRI, X-ray col...

X-Splat: Gaussian Splatting for 3D CBCT Generation from Single Panoramic Radiograph

Generating a 3D dental volume from a single panoramic radiograph (PXR) could provide a low-radiation alternative to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), but the problem is highly underdetermined: panoramic acquisition integrates 3D attenuation along curved X-ray paths into a 2D image, leaving depth-resolved anatomy unobserved. Existing implicit and generative approaches often produce oversmoothed geometry or anatomically inconsistent hallucinations, lacking geometry-driven supervision and relying on smooth representations unable to precisely localize sharp anatomical boundaries.

Field-of-View Extension in Dental Cone-Beam CT via Implicit Neural Representations and Diffusion Model-Based Refinement

The paper presents a three‑stage framework to extend the field of view in dental cone‑beam CT scans that are limited by truncated detector configurations. First, an implicit neural representation estimates missing projection data; second, an iterative reconstruction generates a secondary volumetric image with better anatomical consistency; third, a fast diffusion model refines the image for enhanced quality. Experiments show reduced truncation artifacts and improved reconstruction of structures beyond the original field of view.

Sparse-View Lung Nodule Volumetry from Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs via AReT: Anatomy-Regularized TensoRF

arXiv:2606. 02639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We identify and resolve a previously unreported failure mode in TensoRF when applied to X-ray attenuation fields: the default density shift of -10, originally introduced for RGB scene reconstruction, suppresses density gradients and prevents sparse-view medical reconstruction regardless of learning rate or regularization strategy.

DALE-CT: Depth-Aware 2D Slice Encoders Learn an Anatomical World Model of Chest CT

DALE-CT introduces depth‑aware 2D slice encoders that learn an anatomical world model of chest CT scans without 3D or positional supervision. By sampling self‑supervised views across a physical $z$‑axis slab, the encoder captures how anatomy changes between neighboring slices, enabling it to recover slice ordering and distinguish slices by anatomy alone. The model, trained on a large 287k‑scan corpus, achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on CT‑RATE and is released with full code and evaluation tools.
