Summary

• What is new: Introduction of a deep learning approach, Jumpstarted DPS (JSDPS), that significantly reduces the computational time while maintaining high accuracy in material decomposition from spectral CT measurements.
• Why this is important: High computational cost and lower accuracy of existing model-based material decompositions (MBMD) techniques for spectral CT measurements.
• What the research proposes: A new deep learning approach using diffusion posterior sampling (DPS) with enhancements like jumpstarted process and gradient approximation to improve speed and stability.
• Results: JSDPS achieved high accuracy with significantly less computational time and iterations compared to classic DPS and MBMD, showing it as a fast and reliable material decomposition method for spectral CT data.
