While 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS) offers explicit and efficient scene representations for cone-beam computed tomography reconstruction, conventional photometric optimization inherently suffers from spectral bias under ultra sparse-view conditions, leading to over-smoothing and a loss of high-frequency anatomical details. Since wavelet transforms provide rich high-frequency information and have been widely utilized to enhance sparse reconstruction, this work integrates wavelet multi-resolution analysis with 3DGS. To circumvent the mathematical mismatch between the strict non-negativity of physical X-ray attenuation and the bipolar nature of high-frequency wavelet coefficients, we propose Residual Gaussian Splatting (RGS). Methodologically, we introduce a spectrally-decoupled Gaussian representation that stratifies the volumetric field into a geometric base component and a residual detail component. This decomposition systematically transforms explicit high-frequency fitting into a physically consistent, implicit residual compensation task. Furthermore, we devise a spectral-spatial collaborative optimization strategy to coordinate the interplay between geometric anchoring and texture refinement, effectively preventing spectral crosstalk. Extensive experiments on clinical datasets demonstrate that RGS enables the reconstructed images to capture highly refined geometric textures. It successfully resolves the trade-off between artifact suppression and detail preservation, yielding superior visual fidelity in complex trabecular and vascular structures compared to existing neural rendering baselines.

Multi-source stationary computed tomography (CT) has recently attracted attention for its ability to achieve rapid image reconstruction, making it suitable for time-sensitive clinical and industrial applications. However, practical systems are often constrained by ultra-sparse-view sampling, which significantly degrades reconstruction quality. Traditional methods struggle under ultra-sparse-view settings, where interpolation becomes inaccurate and the resulting reconstructions are unsatisfactory. To address this challenge, this study proposes Diffusion-Refined Neural Attenuation Fields (Diff-NAF), an iterative framework tailored for multi-source stationary CT under ultra-sparse-view conditions. Diff-NAF combines a Neural Attenuation Field representation with a dual-branch conditional diffusion model. The process begins by training an initial NAF using ultra-sparse-view projections. New projections are then generated through an Angle-Prior Guided Projection Synthesis strategy that exploits inter view priors, and are subsequently refined by a Diffusion-driven Reuse Projection Refinement Module. The refined projections are incorporated as pseudo-labels into the training set for the next iteration. Through iterative refinement, Diff-NAF progressively enhances projection completeness and reconstruction fidelity under ultra-sparse-view conditions, ultimately yielding high-quality CT reconstructions. Experimental results on multiple simulated 3D CT volumes and real projection data demonstrate that Diff-NAF achieves the best performance under ultra-sparse-view conditions.
