CT Reconstruction from a Limited Number of X-Ray Projections
نویسنده
چکیده
Most CT reconstruction system x-ray computed tomography (CT) is a well established visualization technique in medicine and nondestructive testing. However, since CT scanning requires sampling of radiographic projections from different viewing angles, common CT systems with mechanically moving parts are too slow for dynamic imaging, for instance of multiphase flows or live animals. A large number of X-ray projections are needed to reconstruct CT images, so the collection and calculation of the projection data consume too much time and harmful for patient. For the purpose of solving the problem, in this study, we proposed a method for tomographic reconstruction of a sample from a limited number of x-ray projections by using linear interpolation method. In simulation, we presented reconstruction from an experimental x-ray CT scan of a Aluminum phantom that follows to two steps: X-ray projections will be interpolated using linear interpolation method and using it for CT reconstruction based upon Ordered Subsets Expectation Maximization (OSEM) method. Keywords—CT reconstruction, X-ray projections, Interpolation technique, OSEM

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...

In X-ray computed tomography (CT) it is generally acknowledged that reconstruction methods exploiting image sparsity allow reconstruction from a significantly reduced number of projections. The use of such reconstruction methods is inspired by recent progress in compressed sensing (CS). However, the CS framework provides neither guarantees of accurate CT reconstruction, nor any relation between...

In x-ray tomography, the structure of a three-dimensional body is reconstructed from a collection of projection images of the body. Medical CT imaging does this using an extensive set of projections from all around the body. However, in many practical imaging situations only a small number of truncated projections are available from a limited angle of view. Three-dimensional imaging using such ...
متن کاملCompressed Sensing Based Computed Tomography Image Reconstruction
In computed tomography (CT), an important objective is to reduce radiation dose without degrading image quality. The radiation exposure from CT scan will make severe problem in humans. This has high risk in the case of children and female. The higher exposure will lead to leukemia, cancer etc. So that low dose CT image reconstruction is the main concern now days. We have to reconstruct the imag...
متن کاملSparse-View CT Reconstruction Based on Nonconvex L1 − L2 Regularizations
The reconstruction from sparse-view projections is one of important problems in computed tomography (CT) limited by the availability or feasibility of obtaining of a large number of projections. Traditionally, convex regularizers have been exploited to improve the reconstruction quality in sparse-view CT, and the convex constraint in those problems leads to an easy optimization process. However...
