Image Reconstruction in 3D Magnetic Induction Tomography using a FEM Forward Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The inverse problem in 3D eddy current imaging is ill-posed and non-linear. The most commonly used image reconstruction algorithms for electrical imaging are based on a linear approximation (the Jacobian Matrix). We start with an initial conductivity distribution. The forward problem is solved and the predicted voltages compared with the calculated voltages from the Finite Element model. The conductivity is then updated using a regularised inverse of the Jacobian. The process is repeated until the predicted voltages from the finite element method agree with the calculated voltages from the finite element model. In this study we present the validity range of a linear inverse problem based on analysis of the Jacobian matrix.

Fast System Matrix Calculation in CT Iterative Reconstruction
Introduction: Iterative reconstruction techniques provide better image quality and have the potential for reconstructions with lower imaging dose than classical methods in computed tomography (CT). However, the computational speed is major concern for these iterative techniques. The system matrix calculation during the forward- and back projection is one of the most time- cons...

We investigate fast iterative image reconstruction methods for fully 3D multispectral bioluminescence tomography for applications in small animal imaging. Our forward model uses a diffusion approximation for optically inhomogeneous tissue, which we solve using a finite element method (FEM). We examine two approaches to incorporating the forward model into the solution of the inverse problem. In...

Magnetic induction tomography (MIT) is a promising modality for noninvasive imaging due to its contactless technology. Being a non-contact safe imaging technique, MIT has been an appropriate method in compare to other electrical tomography. In this imaging method, a primary magnetic field is applied by excitation coils to induce eddy currents in the material to be studied and a secondary magnet...
متن کاملThree-dimensional forward solver and its performance analysis for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) using recessed electrodes.
In magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), we try to reconstruct a cross-sectional resistivity (or conductivity) image of a subject. When we inject a current through surface electrodes, it generates a magnetic field. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, we can obtain the induced magnetic flux density from MR phase images of the subject. We use recessed electrode...

This manuscript presents results relative to the optimization of 3D impedance tomography reconstruction algorithms for execution on multi–core computing platforms. Speed–ups obtainable by the use of modern computing architectures and by an optimized implementation allow the use of much finer FEM meshes in the forward model, leading ultimately to a better image quality. We formulate the reconstr...
