本文提出了ELECTRIC（Evidential Learning-Enhanced CT Reconstruction via Iterative Correction），这是一种物理引导的贝叶斯模型。证据神经网络提供图像提案和误差预测的认知不确定性替代项，后者被转换为自适应精度场并插入泊松加权最大后验（MAP）更新中。由此产生的图像-证据-精度-重建循环将先验置信度视为迭代重建的学习状态变量。除了模型构建和理论分析外，我们在AAPM梅奥诊所低剂量CT数据集的图像切片上进行了两项模拟研究：一项使用透明替代估计器的机制验证预实验，以及一项使用训练后的正态-逆伽马证据网络驱动完整闭环的可行性研究。在保留的患者数据上，与滤波反投影相比，学习到的先验均值将重建误差降低了约70%；学习到的认知不确定性可预测误差并支持选择性信任；物理引导的更新恢复了测量一致性，而自适应精度重建的性能与验证调整后的固定先验相当或更优，且对先验强度的错误指定明显更鲁棒。这些结果共同验证了完整的ELECTRIC闭环流程，同时指出形式不确定性校准和联合训练是未来工作的主要方向。
英文摘要
Here we introduce ELECTRIC (Evidential Learning-Enhanced CT Reconstruction via Iterative Correction), a physics-guided Bayesian formulation. An evidential neural network provides an image proposal and an error-predictive epistemic-uncertainty surrogate. The latter is converted into an adaptive precision field and inserted into a Poisson-weighted MAP update. The resulting image-evidence-precision-reconstruction loop treats prior confidence as a learned state variable of iterative reconstruction. In addition to the formulation and theoretical analysis, we report two simulation studies on image slices from the AAPM Mayo Clinic Low-Dose CT dataset: a mechanism-validation pilot using transparent surrogate estimators, and a feasibility study in which a trained Normal-Inverse-Gamma evidential network drives the full closed loop. On held-out patients, the learned prior mean reduces reconstruction error by roughly 70 percent relative to filtered back-projection, the learned epistemic uncertainty is error-predictive and supports selective trust, and the physics-guided update restores measurement consistency while the adaptive-precision reconstruction matches or exceeds a validation-tuned fixed prior and remains markedly more robust to prior-strength misspecification. Together these results demonstrate the complete ELECTRIC closed-loop pipeline, while identifying formal uncertainty calibration and joint training as the principal directions for future work.
