Conditional Diffusion Posterior Alignment for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

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.

Extremely Sparse-View Computed Tomography from 2D Projections via Pose-Aware Diffusion Priors

The paper introduces a method for extremely sparse‑view computed tomography (xSV‑CT) that learns a pose‑aware diffusion prior from a single 2D projection per training sample. During inference, the diffusion process is guided by measured‑view fidelity, shared‑volume reprojection, and projection‑physics consistency to reconstruct 3D volumes from only 1, 4, or 8 views. Experiments on two public CT datasets show that this approach outperforms or matches baselines that rely on dense‑volume supervision, achieving superior novel‑view synthesis and competitive reconstruction quality.
