CryoET-DDM restores high-fidelity cryo-ET tilt series by using data-driven noise modeling and a fidelity-guided objective, improving downstream subtomogram averaging resolution on three EMPIAR datasets.
- Why it matters: Low-dose tilt series have extremely low SNR, limiting subtomogram averaging (STA) and risking loss of high-frequency structural detail when denoising.
- What they did: The method extracts background noise patches from the same experimental tilt series to model low-dose noise within a diffusion framework, and adds a fidelity-guided learning objective to preserve structural consistency.
- The result: On EMPIAR-10499, EMPIAR-10164, and EMPIAR-10651, CryoET-DDM improves particle quality, preserves structural fidelity, and provides downstream gains in STA resolution, supporting tilt-series denoising for more reliable in situ structural biology analysis.
