Solving Low-Dose Computer Tomography Inverse Problem by Learning the First-Order Score of the Sparse Sinogram Samples’ Distribution
摘要
Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction under sparse-view settings is crucial for reducing radiation exposure but often suffers from severe artifacts. In this paper, we reformulate sparse-view CT reconstruction as a measurement-domain inpainting task and introduce a score-based diffusion model that exploits structural properties of the sinogram. Our method achieves \(14\%\) higher PSNR and noticeable improvements in SSIM over existing approaches, demonstrating its effectiveness in producing reliable low-dose CT reconstructions.
