This study introduces a statistical inversion method for limited-angle X-ray tomography, enhancing reconstruction accuracy by incorporating prior information. The approach uses wavelet expansions and Besov priors, proving effective in mammography and dental radiology applications.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Computational physics
  • Applied mathematics

Background:

  • X-ray tomography reconstructs physical bodies from projection images.
  • Limited-angle tomography is an ill-posed inverse problem due to insufficient data.
  • Statistical inversion offers a solution by integrating prior knowledge with measurement data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stable reconstruction method for limited-angle X-ray tomography.
  • To utilize wavelet expansions and Besov space priors for improved accuracy.
  • To demonstrate the method's feasibility with real-world medical data.

Main Methods:

  • Representing the unknown attenuation distribution using wavelet expansion.
  • Applying a Besov space prior distribution and positivity constraint.
