• Abstract: Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (PACT) often faces severe challenges from reconstruction artifacts due to sparse detection conditions. In this work, based on the distinct differences in artifact patterns between back-projection-based and Fourier-based reconstruction algorithms, we propose a self-supervised artifact removal framework that employs a lightweight Siamese Neural Network and a composite loss function integrating cross-domain fidelity and uncertainty-weighted consistency, effectively decoupling dual-domain features and filtering artifacts. Comprehensive validations using simulations, phantoms, in vivo rat and human experimental data demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly suppress image artifacts. Furthermore, enabled by the acceleration of the spatial-domain and frequency-domain inverse operator, this end-to-end approach also achieves exceptional computational efficiency.

  Ring artifacts in computed tomography images, arising from the undesirable responses of detector units, significantly degrade image quality and diagnostic reliability. We propose a dual-domain regularization model to effectively remove ring artifacts, while maintaining the integrity of the original CT image. The proposed model corrects the vertical stripe artifacts on the sinogram by innovatively updating the response inconsistency compensation coefficients of detector units.

  We propose a blind artifact removal algorithm in light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) called DeStripe. DeStripe localizes the potentially corrupted coefficients by exploiting the structural difference between unidirectional artifacts and foreground images. Affected coefficients can then be fed into a graph neural network for recovery with a Hessian regularization unrolled to further ensure structures in the standard image space are well preserved.
