Combined Energy Minimization for Image Reconstruction from Few Views
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reconstruction from few views is an important problem in medical imaging and applied mathematics. In this paper, a combined energy minimization is proposed for image reconstruction. l2 energy of the image gradient is introduced in the lower density region, and it can accelerate the reconstruction speed and improve the results. Total variation of the image is introduced in the higher density region, and the image features can be preserved well. Nonlinear conjugate gradient method is introduced to solve the problem. The efficiency and accuracy of our method are shown in several numerical experiments.

Improved total variation minimization method for few-view computed tomography image reconstruction
BACKGROUND Due to the harmful radiation dose effects for patients, minimizing the x-ray exposure risk has been an area of active research in medical computed tomography (CT) imaging. In CT, reducing the number of projection views is an effective means for reducing dose. The use of fewer projection views can also lead to a reduced imaging time and minimizing potential motion artifacts. However, ...
متن کاملAccurate image reconstruction from few-views and limited-angle data in divergent-beam CT
Abstract In practical applications of tomographic imaging, there are often challenges for image reconstruction due to under-sampling and insufficient data. In computed tomography (CT), for example, image reconstruction from few views would enable rapid scanning with a reduced x-ray dose delivered to the patient. Limited-angle problems are also of practical significance in CT. In this work, we d...

Over the last few years energy minimization has emerged as an indispensable tool in computer vision. The primary reason for this rising popularity has been the successes of efficient graph cut based minimization algorithms in solving many low level vision problems such as image segmentation, object reconstruction, image restoration and disparity estimation. The scale and form of computer vision...
متن کاملCombined shearlet and TV regularization in sparse-view CT reconstruction
Preclinical in vivo micro computerized tomography suffers from high image noise, due to limitations on total scanning time and the small pixel sizes. A lot of different noise minimization algorithms have already been proposed to reconstruct images acquired in low dose settings. Sparse-view reconstruction amongst others can reduce acquisition dose significantly, by acquiring only a small subset ...
متن کاملA New Approach for Quantitative Evaluation of Reconstruction Algorithms in SPECT
ABTRACT Background: In nuclear medicine, phantoms are mainly used to evaluate the overall performance of the imaging systems and practically there is no phantom exclusively designed for the evaluation of the software performance. In this study the Hoffman brain phantom was used for quantitative evaluation of reconstruction techniques. The phantom is modified to acquire t...
