New AXON framework reconstructs 3D CT volumes from 2D X-rays

Researchers have developed AXON, a novel framework utilizing a multi-stage diffusion model to reconstruct detailed 3D CT volumes from standard 2D X-rays. This approach aims to improve diagnostic accessibility by overcoming the limitations of traditional CT scans, such as high radiation exposure and cost. AXON employs a coarse-to-fine strategy, beginning with a Brownian Bridge model for global structure and then using ControlNet for local detail enhancement, with added capabilities for bi-planar view integration and super-resolution.

IMPACT This research could significantly improve the accessibility and affordability of detailed 3D anatomical imaging for medical diagnostics.

    Conditional Diffusion for 3D CT Volume Reconstruction from 2D X-rays

    arXiv:2603.26509v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) provides rich 3D anatomical detail but is often constrained by high radiation exposure, substantial costs, and limited availability. Standard chest X-rays are cost-effective and widely accessible, but pr…
