Parameter-Efficient CT Reconstruction via Deep Graph Laplacian Regularization

arXiv:2605.25348v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reconstruction faces a critical tradeoff between reconstruction quality and resource requirements. While recent deep learning methods achieve state-of-the-art performance, they typically rely on over 500,000 parameters trained on large-scale datasets exceeding 35,000 scans. This work investigates whether graph-based regularization can provide meaningful noise reduction under strict resource constraints. We propose Deep Graph Laplacian Regularization (Deep GLR), integrating quadratic graph regularization into

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous push for more efficient and less resource-intensive AI methods, especially in computationally demanding fields like medical imaging, drives innovations like Deep GLR.

Why it’s important

Reducing the parameter count and data requirements for deep learning in CT reconstruction democratizes access to state-of-the-art medical imaging and lowers the computational barrier for deployment.

What changes

The reliance on massive datasets and parameter-heavy models for high-quality medical image reconstruction could decrease, making advanced AI imaging more accessible and efficient.
