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...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

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...

Background:

Model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) for high-resolution cone-beam CT (CBCT) is computationally intensive.
Standard MBIR requires full volume reconstruction, limiting acceleration strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a computationally efficient MBIR algorithm for high-resolution CBCT.
To reduce the computational burden of reconstructing fine voxel grids (<100 µm).

Main Methods:

Proposed a multiresolution penalized-weighted least squares (PWLS) algorithm.
Parameterized the volume using a union of fine and coarse voxel grids with selective detector pixel binning.
Introduced a penalty function for regularization across grid boundaries.

Main Results:

Evaluated in simulation and physical studies for extremity CBCT.
Achieved over 5x acceleration compared to brute-force fine voxel reconstruction.
Downsampling factors up to 4x in coarse regions showed no significant artifacts.
Potential for ~50x speedup with downsampling factors up to 10x in specific configurations.

Conclusions:

The multiresolution PWLS algorithm significantly reduces computational cost for high-resolution iterative CBCT reconstruction.
The method is extendable to other MBIR applications requiring high-fidelity forward models in sub-regions.
