    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Physics
    • Computer Science

    Background:

    • X-ray computerized tomography (CT) is a 3D imaging technique vital for visualizing internal sample structures.
    • Accurate sample positioning is crucial for high-resolution tomographic reconstructions, but thermal drifts and mechanical instabilities cause uncertainties.
    • Manual alignment methods are slow and hinder analysis, especially with high data acquisition rates from advanced sources.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an automated alignment algorithm for phase-contrast tomography.
    • To address limitations in sample positioning uncertainties that degrade reconstruction resolution.
    • To provide a robust solution for analyzing large volumes of phase-contrast tomography data.

    Main Methods:

    • An iterative reconstruction algorithm for wrapped phase projection data was developed.
