In this study we evaluated the task-based image quality of a low contrast clinical task for the abdomen protocol (e.g., pancreatic tumour) of three different CT vendors, exploiting three model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) levels.…
Recent research has explored using neural networks to reconstruct undersampled magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. Because of the complexity of the artifacts in the reconstructed images, there is a need to develop task-based approaches…
With the development of image recovery models,especially those based on adversarial and perceptual losses,the detailed texture portions of images are being recovered more naturally.However,these restored images are similar but not identical…
Image restoration algorithms are typically evaluated by some distortion measure (e.g. PSNR, SSIM, IFC, VIF) or by human opinion scores that quantify perceived perceptual quality. In this paper, we prove mathematically that distortion and…
Noise removal from images is a part of image restoration in which we try to reconstruct or recover an image that has been degraded by using apriori knowledge of the degradation phenomenon. Noises present in images can be of various types…
In Fourier-based medical imaging, sampling below the Nyquist rate results in an underdetermined system, in which linear reconstructions will exhibit artifacts. Another consequence of under-sampling is lower signal to noise ratio (SNR) due…
A moire pattern in the images is resulting from high frequency patterns captured by the image sensor (colour filter array) that appear after demosaicing. These Moire patterns would appear in natural images of scenes with high frequency…
Objective measures of image quality generally operate by comparing pixels of a "degraded" image to those of the original. Relative to human observers, these measures are overly sensitive to resampling of texture regions (e.g., replacing one…
For single source helical Computed Tomography (CT), both Filtered-Back Projection (FBP) and statistical iterative reconstruction have been investigated. However for dual source CT with flying focal spot (DS-FFS CT), statistical iterative…

Acquired images for medical and other purposes can be affected by noise from both the equipment used in the capturing or the environment. This can have adverse effect on the information therein. Thus, the need to restore the image to its…
Bottleneck autoencoders have been actively researched as a solution to image compression tasks. However, we observed that bottleneck autoencoders produce subjectively low quality reconstructed images. In this work, we explore the ability of…
Computed tomography (CT) reconstructs volumetric images using X-ray projection data acquired from multiple angles around an object. For low-dose or sparse-view CT scans, the classic image reconstruction algorithms often produce severe noise…

Tomography has made a revolutionary impact on diverse fields, ranging from macro-/mesoscopic scale studies in biology, radiology, plasma physics to the characterization of 3D atomic structure in material science. The fundamental of…
In most practical situations, the compression or transmission of images and videos creates distortions that will eventually be perceived by a human observer. Vice versa, image and video restoration techniques, such as inpainting or…
