Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

A new modified ordered-subset convex (MOSC) algorithm speeds up transmission computed tomography (CT) reconstruction by reducing computational cost. This faster algorithm offers comparable image quality and saves 25-30% CPU time compared to the original OSC algorithm.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Iterative reconstruction algorithms are crucial for transmission computed tomography (CT).
  • The ordered-subset convex (OSC) algorithm is a widely used iterative method.
