Computed Tomography

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...

Background:

Compressed sensing (CS) theory offers new approaches to optimal sampling in medical imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Long acquisition times in high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) hinder clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To reduce HARDI acquisition times by minimizing diffusion encoding gradients using compressed sensing.
To improve the accuracy and efficiency of HARDI scan reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Employed compressed sensing (CS) theory to reduce the number of diffusion encoding gradients for HARDI.
Utilized spherical ridgelet transformation for sparsifying HARDI signals.
Combined diffusion- and spatial-domain constraints for enhanced reconstruction accuracy.

Main Results:

Achieved substantial reduction in HARDI data acquisition times.
Demonstrated reliable reconstruction of HARDI scans with significantly fewer measurements.
Experimental results support the practical value of the proposed methodology.

Conclusions:

Compressed sensing, combined with spherical ridgelet transformation and dual-domain constraints, effectively minimizes HARDI acquisition times.
The proposed method allows for maximal reduction in diffusion measurements with minimal loss in reconstruction accuracy.
An efficient numerical scheme facilitates the practical implementation of this reconstruction methodology.
