Noise2Match is a self‑supervised method for low‑dose CT denoising that uses an adaptive inter‑slice matching network to model and correct the label transition between adjacent slices. By ensuring the equal‑mean condition of the Noise2Noise framework, it theoretically matches supervised training with paired noisy‑clean data. The approach also extends effectively to low‑dose cone‑beam CT, outperforming existing image‑domain self‑supervised methods.

The paper introduces a physics‑driven, cross‑domain iterative framework for self‑supervised low‑dose CT denoising. It first uses a learned sinogram prior and the LDCT noise model to separate Poisson and Gaussian noise components, then applies binomial and Gaussian data thinning to create two training pairs with independent noise realizations. These pairs train an image‑domain network whose outputs are forward‑projected to refine the prior, yielding consistent performance gains over existing self‑supervised baselines and comparable results to supervised methods.

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 a deep dictionary network (DDN) foundation model designed for ultra‑low‑dose CT (ULDCT) denoising across multiple organs. By cascading convolutional sparse coding layers with iterative soft‑thresholding, the architecture offers inherent interpretability, while dynamic dictionary and threshold modules enhance representation. The model is pre‑trained on over one million normal‑dose CT images and fine‑tuned on multi‑organ ULDCT datasets, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance that consistently outperforms existing methods.
