Improving Generalizability in Limited-Angle CT Reconstruction with Sinogram Extrapolation

Limited Tomography Reconstruction via Tight Frame and Simultaneous Sinogram Extrapolation

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of widely used diagnostic tools for medical and dental tomographic imaging of the human body. However, the standard filtered backprojection reconstruction method requires the complete knowledge of the projection data. In the case of limited data, the inverse problem of CT becomes more ill-posed, which makes the reconstructed image deteriorated by the artifa...

Lose The Views: Limited Angle CT Reconstruction via Implicit Sinogram Completion

Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction is a fundamental component to a wide variety of applications ranging from security, to healthcare. The classical techniques require measuring projections, called sinograms, from a full 180° view of the object. This is impractical in a limited angle scenario, when the viewing angle is less than 180°, which can occur due to different factors including restr...

TGV sinogram inpainting for limited angle tomography

X-ray computed tomography (CT) plays a very important role in daily biomedical practice for diagnosis and therapy, and in materials science for accurate data analysis and quality control. Besides accurate and robust image reconstruction, there is a growing interest in methods for limited angle tomography. The idea is to reduce the X-ray dose delivered to patients or to cope with physical angle ...

Constrained sinogram restoration for limited-angle tomography

Limited view angle iterative CT reconstruction

Computed Tomography (CT) is widely used for transportation security to screen baggage for potential threats. For example, many airports use X-ray CT to scan the checked baggage of airline passengers. The resulting reconstructions are then used for both automated and human detection of threats. Recently, there has been growing interest in the use of model-based reconstruction techniques for appl...
