Summary
The block cyclic projection method in compressed sensing (BCPCS) now converges with underrelaxation parameters. This extends convergence proofs for related algorithms like BCAVCS and BDROPCS in computed tomography image reconstruction.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Applied Mathematics
- Computer Science
Background:
- The block cyclic projection method in compressed sensing (BCPCS) is used for computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction.
- Previous convergence proofs for BCPCS were limited to unity relaxation parameters (λ=1).
Purpose of the Study:
- To extend the convergence proof of the BCPCS method to include underrelaxation parameters (λ∈(0,1)).
- To derive the convergence of related algorithms, BCAVCS and BDROPCS, under similar conditions.
Main Methods:
- Mathematical analysis to prove convergence of the BCPCS algorithm with underrelaxation.
- Derivation of convergence conditions for BCAVCS and BDROPCS algorithms using underrelaxation parameters.
Main Results:
- Convergence of the BCPCS method is proven for underrelaxation parameters λ∈(0,1).
- Convergence for BCAVCS and BDROPCS algorithms is established under specific conditions with underrelaxation.
Conclusions:
- The study successfully extends the theoretical convergence of BCPCS and related algorithms to underrelaxation parameters.
- Experimental results validate the demonstrated convergence behavior for various parameter choices.

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
2.0K
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.

Positron Emission Tomography

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
