Computed tomography (CT) is widely used in scientific imaging systems such as synchrotron and laboratory-based nano-CT, but acquiring full-view sinograms requires high radiation dose and long scan times. Sparse-view CT reduces this burden…

Object reconstruction from 3D point clouds has been a long-standing research problem in computer vision and computer graphics, and achieved impressive progress. However, reconstruction from time-varying point clouds (a.k.a. 4D point clouds)…

While Model Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) of CT scans has been shown to have better image quality than Filtered Back Projection (FBP), its use has been limited by its high computational cost. More recently, deep convolutional neural…

We present an effective post-processing method to reduce the artifacts from sparsely reconstructed cone-beam CT (CBCT) images. The proposed method is based on the state-of-the-art, image-to-image generative models with a perceptual loss as…

X-Ray based computed tomography (CT) is a well-established technique for determining the three-dimensional structure of an object from its two-dimensional projections. In the past few decades, there have been significant advancements in the…

Deep neural networks have received considerable attention in clinical imaging, particularly with respect to the reduction of radiation risk. Lowering the radiation dose by reducing the photon flux inevitably results in the degradation of…

The Computed Tomography (CT) for diagnosis of lesions in human internal organs is one of the most fundamental topics in medical imaging. Low-dose CT, which offers reduced radiation exposure, is preferred over standard-dose CT, and therefore…

Time-resolved CBCT imaging, which reconstructs a dynamic sequence of CBCTs reflecting intra-scan motion (one CBCT per x-ray projection without phase sorting or binning), is highly desired for regular and irregular motion characterization,…

This study introduces a novel reconstruction method for dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), focusing on effectively reducing metal-induced artifacts commonly encountered in the presence of prevalent metallic implants. Despite…

In radiation therapy (RT), the reliance on pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) images encounter challenges due to anatomical changes, necessitating adaptive planning. Daily cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging, pivotal for therapy adjustment,…

Low-Dose computer tomography (LDCT) is an ideal alternative to reduce radiation risk in clinical applications. Although supervised-deep-learning-based reconstruction methods have demonstrated superior performance compared to conventional…

CT scanners that are commonly-used in hospitals nowadays produce low-resolution images, up to 512 pixels in size. One pixel in the image corresponds to a one millimeter piece of tissue. In order to accurately segment tumors and make…

The recent application of Fourier Based Iterative Reconstruction Method (FIRM) has made it possible to achieve high-quality 2D images from a fan beam Computed Tomography (CT) scan with a limited number of projections in a fast manner. The…

Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction is a fundamental component to a wide variety of applications ranging from security, to healthcare. The classical techniques require measuring projections, called sinograms, from a full 180$^\circ$…

Purpose: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) projection images provide anatomical data in real-time over several respiratory cycles, forming a comprehensive picture of tumor movement. We developed and validated a method which uses these projections to…

Objective: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a low-dose imaging alternative to conventional CT, but suffers from noise, scatter, and artifacts that degrade image quality. Synthetic CT (sCT) aims to translate CBCT to high-quality…

Available super-resolution techniques for 3D images are either computationally inefficient prior-knowledge-based iterative techniques or deep learning methods which require a large database of known low- and high-resolution image pairs. A…

Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) aims to minimize the radiation exposure to patients while maintaining diagnostic image quality. However, traditional CT reconstruction algorithms often struggle with the ill-posed nature of the problem,…

A general method for recovering missing DCT coefficients in DCT-transformed images is presented in this work. We model the DCT coefficients recovery problem as an optimization problem and recover all missing DCT coefficients via linear…

The interplay between the beam delivery time structure and the patient motion makes 4D dose calculation (4DDC) important when treating moving tumors with intensity modulated proton therapy. 4DDC based on phase sorting of a 4DCT suffers from…
