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...

X-ray Crystallography

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Angle of Twist - Elastic Range

Angle of Twist - Elastic Range

Consider a cylindrical shaft with a length denoted by L and a consistent cross-sectional radius referred to as r. This shaft undergoes a torque at the free end. The highest shearing strain within the shaft is directly proportional to the twist angle and the radial distance from the shaft axis. When the shaft behaves elastically, this shearing strain can be articulated using variables such as the applied torque, radial distance, the polar moment of inertia, and the modulus of rigidity. By...

Background:

Limited Angle Tomography (LAT) suffers from incomplete data, leading to image artifacts.
Existing methods often require specific constraints to mitigate these artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate a novel two-stage regularization strategy, Generalized Total Variation Iterative Constraint (GTVIC).
To assess GTVIC's effectiveness in suppressing artifacts for semi-piecewise-constant objects in LAT.

Main Methods:

Developed a two-stage regularization strategy: Generalized Total Variation Iterative Constraint (GTVIC).
Integrated GTVIC as a supplementary module into X-ray and diffraction-based reconstruction algorithms.
Tested GTVIC using a detailed biological cell phantom and experimental data under conical illumination.

Main Results:

GTVIC significantly reduced axial blurring in reconstructed refractive index distributions.
The method demonstrated effectiveness with both numerical simulations and real-world experimental data.
Improved image quality was observed when GTVIC was applied to different reconstruction algorithms.

Conclusions:

The Generalized Total Variation Iterative Constraint (GTVIC) is an effective regularization strategy for Limited Angle Tomography.
GTVIC enhances image quality by reducing artifacts, particularly axial blurring.
This approach shows promise for improving the reconstruction of semi-piecewise-constant objects in various imaging modalities.
