Agentic AI Reasoning and Learned Sampling for Task-Aware Projection Selection in Sparse-View CT: Predicting Hemodynamics

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The study explores task‑aware projection selection for predicting hemodynamics from sparse‑view CT angiography. Using synthetic CTA data and a Fourier neural operator, the authors compare fixed sampling schemes with three optimal selection methods—Gumbel‑Softmax, Soft top‑K, and an agentic AI selector—finding that the agentic and Soft top‑K approaches yield the lowest errors for spatially resolved wall shear stress, especially under extreme sparsity. The analysis shows that task‑optimal masks differ markedly from those optimal for image reconstruction, highlighting a new direction for designing sparse acquisitions around downstream physical quantities.

Projection-Volume Fidelity Divergence: Diagnosing and Controlling Optimization Drift in Sparse-View 3D Gaussian Tomography

Sparse-view computed tomography is a severely ill-posed inverse problem, where recent 3D Gaussian Splatting methods offer an efficient explicit representation for tomographic reconstruction. However, we find that projection-domain optimization can be misleading in this setting: the rendered projections may continue to improve while the reconstructed volume deteriorates.

Reconstruction of 4D Mitral Regurgitation Hemodynamics from Sparse Planar Data using Deep Operator Networks with Test-Time Adaptation

The paper presents a Deep Operator Network that reconstructs full‑field 4D mitral regurgitation hemodynamics from sparse planar velocity data and boundary pressure traces. The network is pretrained on a URANS database of eleven orifice phantoms and then fine‑tuned on new cases, achieving rapid predictions in minutes. While the adaptation improves flow topology in the observed plane, reconstruction error increases sharply with distance from that plane, limiting physical consistency in the surrounding volume.

LUCID: Learned Undersampling-Adaptive Consistency-Guided Inference with Deterministic Flow Matching for Sparse-View CT Reconstruction

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.
