Super-Resolution for Computed Tomography Based on Discrete Tomography

Validation of computed tomography-based attenuation correction of deviation between theoretical and actual values for four computed tomography scanners

Objective: In this study, we aimed to validate the accuracy of computed tomography-based attenuation correction (CTAC) using the bilinear scaling method.Methods: The measured attenuation coefficient (μm) was compared to a theoretical attenuation coefficient (μt ) using four different CT scanners and an RMI 467 phantom. The effective energy of the CT beam X-rays was calculated, using the aluminu...

High-resolution computed tomography

This paper investigates high-resolution reconstructions from eeciently sampled data in parallel-beam tomography, in particular local tomography. A class of sampling schemes is deened and characterized, and it is shown that the standard scheme and the interlaced scheme of Cormack are most promising. An error analysis for the ltered backprojection algorithm for both global and local tomography is...

Small-animal imaging using clinical positron emission tomography/computed tomography and super-resolution.

Considering the high cost of dedicated small-animal positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), an acceptable alternative in many situations might be clinical PET/CT. However, spatial resolution and image quality are of concern. The utility of clinical PET/CT for small-animal research and image quality improvements from super-resolution (spatial subsampling) were investigated. Na...
