Computed Laminography (CL) is a key technology for the nondestructive testing of large plate-shaped objects. However, field-of-view (FOV) limitations inevitably lead to truncation of projected data, an ill-posed inverse problem that causes severe reconstruction artifacts. Existing deep learning methods typically rely on 2D architectures that lack rigorous data consistency constraints. Furthermore, they conventionally confine artifact removal strictly to the FOV, discarding potentially recoverable information outside it. To overcome these limitations, we first introduce a comprehensive CL FOV analysis, categorizing the space into data-complete, data-incomplete, and data-free regions. By extending our reconstruction target to encompass the data-incomplete region, we significantly expand the effective imaging range and enhance scanning efficiency. To achieve this, we propose a novel wavelet-optimized pseudo-3D accelerated diffusion model for CL truncation reconstruction (CL-DM). Our method utilizes a standard 2D diffusion model for slice aggregation, combined with a 3D model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) method to ensure strict data consistency. To mitigate inter-slice discontinuities, we introduce wavelet regularization along the z-direction, paired with a translation-invariant (TI) mechanism and a low-frequency preservation strategy. Finally, we introduce a 3D fast sampling architecture, significantly accelerating inference speed. Extensive simulations and real-world experiments demonstrate that CL-DM is superior in effectively eliminating truncation artifacts and restoring high-fidelity, continuous 3D structures.
Light-field microscopy (LFM) enables single-shot capture of multi-angular information from biological samples, supporting real-time volumetric imaging. However, traditional physics-based algorithms often suffer from limited spatial resolution, severe artifacts, and high computational costs. Existing learning-based methods improve inference efficiency but still face limitations in reconstruction accuracy and generalization capability. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a high-fidelity Three-Step Conditional Diffusion (TCD) 3D reconstruction method for LFM. Although conventional diffusion models have achieved remarkable success in generative modeling, their slow sampling process and the inherent trade-off between quality and efficiency hinder their application in real-time 3D imaging. We redesign the diffusion process through a deterministic three-step sampling strategy coupled with a lightweight conditional U-Net, establishing a new paradigm for fast and accurate volumetric reconstruction. Furthermore, an Inter-Class Detection (ICD) module is incorporated to identify out-of-distribution or anomalous inputs during inference, thereby enhancing model stability and reliability. Extensive experiments and cross-dataset evaluations demonstrate that TCD significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both reconstruction fidelity and generalization, providing an efficient and practical 3D reconstruction solution for light-field microscopy.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) frequently suffers from data truncation, which introduces severe artifacts and limits the effective field of view (FOV). Existing deep learning methods for truncated cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) reconstruction suffer from serious limitations, including a strict reliance on supervised ground truth and a failure to account for continuous 3D spatial truncation variations. To address these challenges, we introduce a self-supervised 3D reconstruction framework based on neural scene representations. By directly mapping spatial coordinates to radiodensity under projection supervision, our approach inherently bypasses traditional filtering and backprojection operations, thereby fundamentally eliminating truncation-induced ring artifacts while enabling robust continuous 3D data extrapolation. However, coordinate networks are susceptible to an inherent spectral bias, which leads to a severe loss of clinically vital high-frequency textures. To resolve this bottleneck, we further incorporate a physics-based iterative refinement module into the neural scene representation architecture. Leveraging the artifact-free, extrapolated volume from the coordinate network as an optimal initialization, this module progressively re-extracts and injects high-frequency structural information from the original projections back into the volume. Extensive experiments on both simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate that our method successfully unifies the exceptional artifact suppression and extrapolation capabilities of neural networks with the high-fidelity detail preservation of iterative algorithms.
Nanoscale imaging of mammalian brains is critical for connectomics. X-ray laminography enables high-throughput imaging of extended, plate-like biological specimens. However, the tilted acquisition geometry leads to incomplete Fourier-space coverage, giving rise to a missing-cone of information. Conventional reconstruction methods cannot recover unmeasured information within the cone, resulting in artifacts that distort fine brain structures. While resolving these requires modeling 3D structure, direct 3D deep learning approaches are limited by data scarcity and computational cost. Here we introduce LUCID (Laminography with Unified Consistent Diffusion), a framework that combines multi-view diffusion priors with projection-domain data consistency. LUCID integrates complementary 3D structural information while enforcing strict alignment with the laminography forward model. On simulated datasets, LUCID substantially improves spatial fidelity and restores missing Fourier components, outperforming baseline methods. Applied to experimental laminography data, LUCID generalizes robustly despite being trained exclusively on fully sampled tomographic volumes, and effectively recovers unmeasured Fourier information.
