Anima Anandkumar's group published an ECCV paper introducing CTO (Computed Tomography neural Operator), the first neural operator framework for sparse-view CT reconstruction.
- Sparse-view CT cuts radiation dose and scan time by taking fewer projections, but reconstruction becomes ill-posed and requires a learned prior
- Existing deep models are tied to one subsampling rate, while clinical protocols vary by organ and diagnostic purpose, forcing a separate model per rate
- CTO learns a mapping between function spaces: one model ingests sinograms at any subsampling rate and outputs high-quality reconstructions with no retraining
- On average, CTO beats traditional unrolled CNN variational methods
