Image-Domain Poisson-Perturbation Robustness of NCCT Slice Classification
The study investigates how image‑domain Poisson perturbations affect the classification of ischemic core/penumbra in non‑contrast CT slices. Using a CPAISD cohort, the authors compared direct ResNet‑18 classification with a denoising‑then‑classifying pipeline and found that denoising generally reduced performance. A prospective experiment with joint denoising‑classification models showed no statistically significant advantage over direct noisy classification, indicating limited robustness to Poisson noise.

Ischemic Stroke Segmentation and Net Water Uptake Quantification on Multicenter Non-Contrast CT Using Supervised Target-Domain Adaptation
This study presents a domain-aware deep learning framework based on nnU-Net for segmenting ischemic stroke lesions on non‑contrast CT scans and quantifying net water uptake (NWU). Trained on data from Hamburg and the Acute Ischemic Stroke Dataset, the model was fine‑tuned on small target‑domain subsets from Boston and ISLES, achieving median Dice scores of 0.68 and 0.56 for lesions ≥30 mL, and an NWU mean absolute error of 1.37 percentage points on the Boston cohort. The results demonstrate that target‑domain adaptation can enable accurate NCCT‑only infarct segmentation and low‑error NWU estimation across heterogeneous multicenter datasets.

Deep Learning Segmentation of Diffusion-Weighted MRI Acute Ischaemic Stroke: A Pragmatic Evaluation Across Three Datasets
The study evaluated a pragmatic deep‑learning approach for segmenting acute ischemic stroke lesions on diffusion‑weighted MRI. Using a self‑configured nnU‑Net trained on 1,744 cases and tested on 436, the baseline model achieved a median Dice similarity coefficient of 0.84, outperforming the DeepISLES ensemble, especially for smaller infarcts. The approach required minimal preprocessing and fast inference, suggesting it could streamline clinical stroke imaging workflows.

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.

Physics-Driven Independent Pair Generation for Iterative Self-Supervised Low-Dose CT Denoising
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.
