Patients undergoing a mechanical thrombectomy procedure usually have a multi-detector CT (MDCT) scan before and after the intervention. The image quality of the flat panel detector CT (FDCT) present in the intervention room is generally…
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…
We propose a new algorithm to compute the X-ray transform of an image represented by unit (pixel/voxel) basis functions. The fundamental issue is equivalently calculating the intersection lengths of the ray with associated units. For any…
In current clinical practice, noisy and artifact-ridden weekly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are only used for patient setup during radiotherapy. Treatment planning is done once at the beginning of the treatment using…
Diagnostic X (D-X) transport system would extract the beam from the downstream transport line of the second- axis of the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility (DARHT-II) and transport this beam to the D-X firing point via four…
The limited availability of bronchoscopy images makes image synthesis particularly interesting for training deep learning models. Robust image translation across different domains -- virtual bronchoscopy, phantom as well as in-vivo and…
Daily or weekly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is employed in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for precise patient alignment. However, its clinical utility in quantitative tasks is hindered by severe artifacts and inaccurate Hounsfeld…
We demonstrate dark-field x-ray microtomography in a compact, laboratory-based system capable of resolving attenuation, phase, and anisotropic scattering signals with micrometer-scale resolution across centimetre-scale samples. The method…
Purpose: 4D CBCT is a beneficial tool for the treatment of movable tumors, because it can help us to understand where the tumors are actually located and have a precise treatment plan. However, there is a limitation that general CBCT images…
Visual dynamic complexity is a ubiquitous, hidden attribute of the visual world that every dynamic vision system is faced with. However, it is implicit and intractable which has never been quantitatively described due to the difficulty in…
In optical metrology, grating-like structures are used as tools to evaluate the performance of lithographic techniques. In particular, several shape parameters characterize those structures. One of them, termed side-wall angle, suffers from…
This report is dedicated to a short motivation and description of our contribution to the AAPM DL-Sparse-View CT Challenge (team name: "robust-and-stable"). The task is to recover breast model phantom images from limited view fanbeam…
Two-directional beam-tracking (2DBT) is a method for phase-contrast imaging and tomography that uses an intensity modulator to structure the X-ray beam into an array of independent circular beamlets that are resolved by a high-resolution…
Visual information, captured for example by cameras, can effectively reflect the sizes and locations of the environmental scattering objects, and thereby can be used to infer communications parameters like propagation directions, receiver…
In many analyses in Higgs, top and electroweak physics, the kinematic reconstruction of the final state is improved by constrained fits. This is a particularly powerful tool at $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders, where the initial state four-momentum…
We present a flyscan compatible acquisition scheme for three-modal X-Ray Computed Tomography (CT) with two-dimensional phase sensitivity. Our approach is demonstrated using a "beam tracking" setup, through which a sample's attenuation,…
A new technique for reliably identifying point sources in millimeter/sub-millimeter wavelength maps is presented. This method accounts for the frequency dependence of noise in the Fourier domain as well as non-uniformities in the coverage…
A Bayesian data assimilation scheme is formulated for advection-dominated or hyperbolic evolutionary problems, and observations. The method is referred to as the dynamic likelihood filter because it exploits the model physics to dynamically…
Introduction: Quantification of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI has the potential to provide valuable clinical information, but robust pharmacokinetic modeling remains a challenge for clinical adoption. Methods: A 7-layer neural network…
Purpose: Cone-beam CT (CBCT) plays an important role in image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). However, the large radiation dose from serial CBCT scans in most IGRT procedures raises a clinical concern, especially for pediatric patients who…
