Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an emerging medical imaging technique to visualize the internal anatomical structures of patients. During a CBCT scan, several projection images of different angles or views are collectively utilized…
For conventional computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction tasks, the most popular method is the so-called filtered-back-projection (FBP) algorithm. In it, the acquired Radon projections are usually filtered first by a ramp kernel…
A two-dimensional tomographic problem is studied. The target is assumed to be a homogeneous object bounded by a smooth curve. A Non Uniform Rational Basis Splines (NURBS) curve is used as computational representation of the boundary. This…
Classical total variation (TV) based iterative reconstruction algorithms assume that the signal is piecewise smooth, which causes reconstruction results to suffer from the over-smoothing effect. To address this problem, this work presents a…
We present a method for selecting valuable projections in computed tomography (CT) scans to enhance image reconstruction and diagnosis. The approach integrates two important factors, projection-based detectability and data completeness,…
In application of tomography imaging, limited-angle problem is a quite practical and important issue. In this paper, an iterative reprojection-reconstruction (IRR) algorithm using a modified Papoulis-Gerchberg (PG) iterative scheme is…
In clinical CT, the x-ray source emits polychromatic x-rays, which are detected in the current-integrating mode. This physical process is accurately described by an energy-dependent non-linear integral model on the basis of the Beer-Lambert…

3D reconstruction from 2D inputs, especially for non-rigid objects like humans, presents unique challenges due to the significant range of possible deformations. Traditional methods often struggle with non-rigid shapes, which require…
CT scans are the standard-of-care for many clinical ailments, and are needed for treatments like external beam radiotherapy. Unfortunately, CT scanners are rare in low and mid-resource settings due to their costs. Planar X-ray radiography…
Image reconstruction in Multispectral Computed Tomography (MSCT) requires solving a challenging nonlinear inverse problem, commonly tackled via iterative optimization algorithms. Existing methods necessitate computing the derivative of the…
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a well established clinical tool for functional imaging. A limitation of current SPECT systems is the use of mechanical collimation, where only a small fraction of the emitted photons is…

Tomography is the three-dimensional reconstruction of an object from images taken at different angles. The term classical tomography is used, when the imaging beam travels in straight lines through the object. This assumption is valid for…
