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...

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

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.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Computational Imaging
Image Reconstruction

Background:

Penalized weighted least-squares (PWLS) improves X-ray computed tomography (CT) image quality.
Shift-variant problems in CT hinder algorithm acceleration.
Existing iterative algorithms struggle with the dynamic range of statistical weights.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel variable-splitting scheme for statistical image reconstruction in CT.
To decouple regularization and separate shift-variant/invariant components of the data model.
To accelerate iterative algorithms for improved CT image reconstruction.

Main Methods:

A variable-splitting scheme was employed to create a constrained problem.
The classical method-of-multipliers framework with alternating minimization was used.
An alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm with FFT-based preconditioning was developed.

Main Results:

The proposed ADMM algorithm efficiently handles various convex regularization criteria.
Cone-filter preconditioners significantly accelerate the ADMM convergence.
The method demonstrates faster convergence compared to conventional and state-of-the-art algorithms.

Conclusions:

The proposed ADMM algorithm with cone-filter preconditioning offers accelerated CT image reconstruction.
This approach effectively addresses the challenges of shift-variant inverse problems in CT.
The method shows promise for both synthetic and real human in vivo data.
