A Machine Learning-Driven Solution for Denoising Inertial Confinement Fusion Images

The paper presents an unsupervised autoencoder that uses a Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau (CDF 97) wavelet transform in its latent space to denoise neutron imaging data from inertial confinement fusion experiments. The method targets mixed Gaussian‑Poisson noise, preserving fine details and edges that are crucial for image reconstruction. Benchmarks on simulated and experimental NIF datasets show lower reconstruction error and better edge preservation than conventional filtering techniques such as BM3D.

PatchDenoiser: Parameter-efficient multi-scale patch learning and fusion denoiser for Low-dose CT imaging

arXiv:2602. 21987v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Low-dose CT images are essential for reducing radiation exposure in cancer screening, pediatric imaging, and longitudinal monitoring protocols, but their quality is often degraded by noise from low-dose acquisition, patient motion, or scanner limitations, affecting both clinical interpretation and downstream analysis.

A deep dictionary network-based foundation model for ultra-low-dose CT denoising

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.

Reduce the Artifacts Bias for More Generalizable AI-Generated Image Detection

The paper proposes Artifact-Complementary Expert Fusion (ACEF), a two‑stage framework that enhances AI‑generated image detection by combining two types of reconstruction artifacts—VAE/DDIM and SRGAN—into aligned synthetic negatives. ACEF first builds artifact‑specific experts using LoRA adaptation on a frozen backbone, then fuses their multi‑layer evidence with Layer‑wise Artifact‑Complementary Fusion (LACF) to mitigate conflicts between artifact manifolds. Experiments on 13 benchmarks show that this approach improves generalizability over existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

Deep Slice Interpolation for Reducing Through-Plane Anisotropy and Noise in Head CT

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.

SAR-FAH: A Frequency-Adaptive Hybrid Network based on Neural ODEs for Structural-Preserving SAR Despeckling

SAR-FAH is a Frequency‑Adaptive Hybrid network that uses Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs) to despeckle Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. It separates homogeneous and heterogeneous regions in the frequency domain via wavelet transform, then applies a NODE‑based module to low‑frequency sub‑bands for smooth denoising and an enhanced U‑Net with deformable convolutions to high‑frequency sub‑bands for edge and texture preservation. Experiments on synthetic and real SAR data show that SAR‑FAH outperforms current state‑of‑the‑art despeckling methods both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Assessment of Conditional Diffusion Model for Synthetic Histopathology Image Generation

arXiv:2608. 03990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Synthetic histopathology image generation has emerged as an approach that may address data scarcity in computational pathology, yet current evaluation methodologies may not fully assess synthetic data quality for medical applications.
