Accurate image reconstruction from few-views and limited-angle data in divergent-beam CT

چکیده
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 develop and investigate an iterative image reconstruction algorithm based on the minimization of the image total variation (TV) that applies to divergent-beam CT. Numerical demonstrations of our TV algorithm are performed with various insufficient data problems in fan-beam CT. The TV algorithm can be generalized to cone-beam CT as well as other tomographic imaging modalities.

New image reconstruction method from fan-beam projections in limited angle
When divergent projections of an object are available in 360, the classic fan-beam filtered backprojection (FFBP) can be used to reconstruct an image [1, 2]. However, in many cases, it is not possible to obtain projections in 360. This uses to happen, for example, in non-destructive testing, where the exposition of an industrial machine part to radiations in some sensible angles may change stru...

متن کاملNew , e cient Fourier - reconstruction method for approximate imagereconstruction in spiral cone - beam CT at small cone
We present an approximate algorithm for image reconstruction in spiral cone-beam CT at small cone-angles. The rst step of the algorithm is a rebinning from fanbeam to parallel beam projections, that is performed independently for each detector row. The result of this rebinning procedure is a set of parallel views, where all rays are tilted against the z-axis by their cone angle and the rays wit...
متن کاملAccurate image reconstruction from few-view and limited-angle data in diffraction tomography.
We present a method for obtaining accurate image reconstruction from highly sparse data in diffraction tomography (DT). A practical need exists for reconstruction from few-view and limited-angle data, as this can greatly reduce required scan times in DT. Our method does this by minimizing the total variation (TV) of the estimated image, subject to the constraint that the Fourier transform of th...
متن کاملFast 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...
