Learning Regularization Functionals for Inverse Problems: A Comparative Study

In recent years, a variety of learned regularization frameworks for solving inverse problems in imaging have emerged. These offer flexible modeling together with mathematical insights. The proposed methods differ in their architectural design and training strategies, making direct comparison challenging due to non-modular implementations. We address this gap by collecting and unifying the available code into a common framework. This unified view allows us to systematically compare the approaches and highlight their strengths and limitations, providing valuable insights into their future potential. We also provide concise descriptions of each method, complemented by practical guidelines.

Product-of-Gaussian-Mixture Diffusion Models for Joint Nonlinear MRI Reconstruction

Recently, diffusion models have attracted considerable attention for magnetic resonance image reconstruction due to their high sample quality. However, most existing methods rely on large networks with opaque time-conditioning mechanisms, and require offline coil sensitivity estimation. This results in limited interpretability of the reconstruction process and reduced flexibility in the acquisition setup. To address these limitations, we jointly reconstruct the image and the coil sensitivities by combining the parameter-efficient product-of-Gaussian-mixture diffusion model as an image prior with a classical smoothness prior on the coil sensitivities. The proposed method is fast and robust to both contrast and anatomical distribution shifts as well as changing k-space trajectories. Finally, we propose a more expressive parameterization of the image prior which improves results in denoising and magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Computed Tomography Reconstruction using Generative Energy-Based Priors

In the past decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has established itself as one of the most important imaging techniques in medicine. Today, the applicability of CT is only limited by the deposited radiation dose, reduction of which manifests in noisy or incomplete measurements. Thus, the need for robust reconstruction algorithms arises. In this work, we learn a parametric regularizer with a global receptive field by maximizing it's likelihood on reference CT data. Due to this unsupervised learning strategy, our trained regularizer truly represents higher-level domain statistics, which we empirically demonstrate by synthesizing CT images. Moreover, this regularizer can easily be applied to different CT reconstruction problems by embedding it in a variational framework, which increases flexibility and interpretability compared to feed-forward learning-based approaches. In addition, the accompanying probabilistic perspective enables experts to explore the full posterior distribution and may quantify uncertainty of the reconstruction approach. We apply the regularizer to limited-angle and few-view CT reconstruction problems, where it outperforms traditional reconstruction algorithms by a large margin.
