Researchers have developed a new framework called Dose-Aware Cold Diffusion (DACD) to improve the quality of low-dose CT scans. This method explicitly models radiation dose as a continuous factor within a cold diffusion process, integrating dose-aware perception and structural prior extraction. DACD also incorporates an iterative correction to ensure data consistency. Experiments on public datasets like Mayo-2020, Mayo-2016, and LoDoPaB-CT show that DACD outperforms existing methods, particularly at ultra-low doses, and generalizes well across various dose levels.
