Photoacoustic Computed Tomography (PACT) often faces severe challenges from reconstruction artifacts due to sparse detection conditions. In this work, based on the distinct differences in artifact patterns between back-projection-based and Fourier-based reconstruction algorithms, we propose a self-supervised artifact removal framework that employs a lightweight Siamese Neural Network and a composite loss function integrating cross-domain fidelity and uncertainty-weighted consistency, effectively decoupling dual-domain features and filtering artifacts. Comprehensive validations using simulations, phantoms, in vivo rat and human experimental data demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly suppress image artifacts. Furthermore, enabled by the acceleration of the spatial-domain and frequency-domain inverse operator, this end-to-end approach also achieves exceptional computational efficiency.
