SUMI Distillation Boosts CT Image SSIM by 35%, Clinical Benefit Unproven

A 2026 arXiv preprint on SUMI, which distills photon-counting CT appearance from energy-integrating CT data, shows 35% SSIM and 19% PSNR gains plus improved lung nodule sensitivity on degraded data, though clinical benefits remain unproven as results are based on simulated data.
