Reconstructing medical images from partial measurements is a key inverse problem in computed tomography (CT), essential for reducing radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality. Conventional supervised learning approaches depend on paired datasets generated under fixed acquisition settings, limiting their adaptability to unseen measurement processes. To overcome this, we propose a fully unsupervised framework based on score-based generative models. Our method learns the prior distribution of high-quality medical images and employs a physics-informed sampling strategy to reconstruct images consistent with both the learned prior and observed measurements. Experiments on multiple CT reconstruction tasks show that our approach achieves comparable or superior performance to existing methods while generalizing robustly across varying measurement conditions. The code is available.
