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 physics

Background:

Local tomography is crucial for imaging limited-view data.
Low-frequency artifacts, like the cupping effect, degrade reconstruction quality.
Existing methods struggle with artifact correction in local tomography.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a new reconstruction method for local tomography data.
To effectively correct low-frequency artifacts, specifically the cupping effect.
To ensure unbiased reconstructions using a known region constraint.

Main Methods:

An iterative refinement approach is employed.
A basis of Gaussian functions is used for artifact correction.
Optimization of a fidelity term under a sub-region constraint is performed.

Main Results:

The proposed method successfully corrects the cupping effect.
Using a coarse basis simplifies the problem while improving correction.
Simulations confirm that the known region constraint leads to unbiased reconstructions.

Conclusions:

The new method offers improved local tomography reconstruction.
The Gaussian basis and sub-region constraint effectively address cupping artifacts.
The findings align with uniqueness theorems in local tomography.
