Generating a 3D dental volume from a single panoramic radiograph (PXR) could provide a low-radiation alternative to Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), but the problem is highly underdetermined: panoramic acquisition integrates 3D attenuation along curved X-ray paths into a 2D image, leaving depth-resolved anatomy unobserved. Existing implicit and generative approaches often produce oversmoothed geometry or anatomically inconsistent hallucinations, lacking geometry-driven supervision and relying on smooth representations unable to precisely localize sharp anatomical boundaries.
FaCT-GS is a new framework that accelerates Gaussian Splatting (GS) for X‑ray Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction. By optimizing voxelization and rasterization pipelines, it achieves speeds more than four times faster than the current state‑of‑the‑art GS methods on 512×512 projections and over thirteen times faster on 2k projections. The improved voxelization also allows quick fitting of Gaussians to existing volumes, providing a compressed representation or a warm‑start prior for reconstruction.
X‑Splat introduces a unified Gaussian splatting framework that jointly reconstructs RGB and X‑ray 3D scenes. By sharing a single set of geometric parameters across modalities and adding appearance attributes only to surface‑proximal primitives, the method avoids redundant geometry and alignment artifacts. Cross‑modal registration is achieved through clean multi‑view stereo and X‑ray geometric proxies, and a surface‑depth consistency loss guides RGB reconstruction, resulting in robust alignment, higher RGB rendering quality, and a more compact representation compared to separate models.
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.
