Researchers have adapted generative models, specifically Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) and Pix2Pix, for interpolating gaps in photon-counting X-ray imaging detectors. These models were trained on nanoCT projections with simulated gaps and compared against traditional methods like linear interpolation and Navier--Stokes inpainting, as well as a deep inpainting network called MADF. The generative models demonstrated superior performance in perceptual similarity and histogram distance, with Pix2Pix requiring less training time and producing more natural gap filling when applied to sinograms, though the improvement in reconstruction quality was marginal.
