Multimodal Image Reconstruction Using Supplementary Structural Information in Total Variation Regularization
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose an iterative reconstruction algorithm which uses available information from one dataset collected using one modality to increase the resolution and signal-to-noise ratio of one collected by another modality. The method operates on the structural information only which increases its suitability across various applications. Consequently, the main aim of this method is to exploit available supplementary data within the regularization framework. The source of primary and supplementary datasets can be acquired using complementary imaging modes where different types of information are obtained (e.g. in medical imaging: anatomical and functional). It is shown by extracting structural information from the supplementary image (direction of level sets) one can enhance the resolution of the other image. Notably, the method enhances edges that are common to both images while not suppressing features that show high contrast in the primary image alone. In our iterative algorithm we use available structural information within a modified total variation penalty term. We provide numerical experiments to show the advantages and feasibility of the proposed technique in comparison to other methods.

Microwave Radiation Image Reconstruction Method Based on Adaptive Multi-structural Dictionary Learning
Due to the complicated structure of microwave radiometric imaging system and the massive amount of data collection in one snapshot, it is difficult to achieve the high spatial resolution image by conventional microwave radiation imaging method based on the Nyquist sampling. In this paper, according to the priori information of the compressible multi-structural information of microwave radiation...
متن کاملCT Image Reconstruction in a Low Dimensional Manifold
Regularization methods are commonly used in X-ray CT image reconstruction. Different regularization methods reflect the characterization of different prior knowledge of images. In a recent work, a new regularization method called a low-dimensional manifold model (LDMM) is investigated to characterize the low-dimensional patch manifold structure of natural images, where the manifold dimensionali...
متن کاملMulticontrast MRI Reconstruction with Structure-Guided Total Variation
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a versatile imaging technique that allows different contrasts depending on the acquisition parameters. Many clinical imaging studies acquire MRI data for more than one of these contrasts—such as for instance T1 and T2 weighted images—which makes the overall scanning procedure very time consuming. As all of these images show the same underlying anatomy one can...
متن کاملSparse CT reconstruction based on multi-direction anisotropic total variation (MDATV)
BACKGROUND The sparse CT (Computed Tomography), inspired by compressed sensing, means to introduce a prior information of image sparsity into CT reconstruction to reduce the input projections so as to reduce the potential threat of incremental X-ray dose to patients' health. Recently, many remarkable works were concentrated on the sparse CT reconstruction from sparse (limited-angle or few-view ...
متن کاملCT Image Reconstruction from Sparse Projections Using Adaptive TpV Regularization
Radiation dose reduction without losing CT image quality has been an increasing concern. Reducing the number of X-ray projections to reconstruct CT images, which is also called sparse-projection reconstruction, can potentially avoid excessive dose delivered to patients in CT examination. To overcome the disadvantages of total variation (TV) minimization method, in this work we introduce a novel...
