Filtered back-projection and weighted back-projection have long been the methods of choice within the electron microscopy community for reconstructing the structure of macromolecular assemblies from electron tomography data. Here, we describe electron lambda-tomography, a reconstruction method that enjoys the benefits of the above mentioned methods, namely speed and ease of implementation, but ...

In CT (computed tomography), reconstruction from undersampling projection data is often ill-posed and suffers from severe artifact in the reconstructed images. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a sinogram inpainting method based on recently rising sparse representation technology. In this approach, a dictionary learning based inpainting is used to estimate the missing projection dat...

Today, most computed tomography (CT) systems acquire projection data from several hundred to thousands of directions by employing multi-row (2-D) or flat-panel detectors (cone-beam for 3-D imaging). It is important to notice the following fact: modern CT systems all rely on a rotational movement. The most widely utilized reconstruction algorithms, as for instance the well-known Feldkamp method,...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CT performed with Veo model-based iterative reconstruction has shown the potential for radiation-dose reduction. This study sought to determine whether Veo could reduce noise and improve the image quality of low-dose sinus CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients consented to participate and underwent low- and standard-dose sinus CT on the same day. Standard-dose CT wa...
