Parameter-Space Exploration for Computed Tomography Image Analysis Algorithms

چکیده
We present a tool which supports CT specialists in exploring the parameter and result space of volume segmentation pipelines. In a preprocessing step, the user samples the parameter space of a number of pipelines to be analysed. Our sampling tool supports arbitrary pipeliness that can be parametrized via the command line. The user can then explore the space of possible results of the sampled pipelines in an interactive visualization tool. This visualization tool highlights the variation resulting from different parametrizations and pipelines, and allows exploring the influence of each parameter. We evaluate our tool on the multimodal segmentation of a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimen with impact damage, scanned with a Talbot-Lau Grating Interferometer Computed Tomography device.

GEMSe: Visualization-Guided Exploration of Multi-channel Segmentation Algorithms
We present GEMSe, an interactive tool for exploring and analyzing the parameter space of multi-channel segmentation algorithms. Our targeted user group are domain experts who are not necessarily segmentation specialists. GEMSe allows the exploration of the space of possible parameter combinations for a segmentation framework and its ensemble of results. Users start with sampling the parameter s...
متن کاملArtifact reduction techniques in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging modality
Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملMethods to evaluate the performance of kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography in the three-dimensional reconstruction space
Background: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners for image-guided radiotherapy are in clinical use today, but there has been no consensus on uniform acceptance to verify the CBCT image quality yet. The present work proposed new methods to fully evaluate the performance of CBCT in its three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction space. Materials and Methods: Compared to the traditional methods...
متن کاملEmpirical correlation for porosity deduction from X-ray computed tomography (CT)
For obtaining reservoir petrophysical properties, for example porosity, non-destructive methods such as X-ray computed tomography, CT, seems to be precise and accurate. Porosity is deducted from the CT image with a single scan via different techniques, such as pore space detection by image segmentation techniques then correlation with porosity. More than one hundred samples with carbonate li...
