Sparse-View Lung Nodule Volumetry from Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs via AReT: Anatomy-Regularized TensoRF

arXiv:2606.02639v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We identify and resolve a previously unreported failure mode in TensoRF when applied to X-ray attenuation fields: the default density shift of -10, originally introduced for RGB scene reconstruction, suppresses density gradients and prevents sparse-view medical reconstruction regardless of learning rate or regularization strategy. Setting the density shift to zero restores gradient flow and enables stable volumetric reconstruction of pulmonary nodules from only three orthogonal X-ray projections. Building on this, we propose AReT, an anatomy-re
