Industrial CT is useful for defect detection, dimensional inspection and geometric analysis. While it does not meet the needs of industrial mass production, because of its time-consuming imaging procedure. This article proposes a novel…
Computed tomography (CT) relies on precise patient immobilization during image acquisition. Nevertheless, motion artifacts in the reconstructed images can persist. Motion compensation methods aim to correct such artifacts post-acquisition,…
Accurate dose calculations in proton therapy rely on high-quality CT images. While planning CTs (pCTs) serve as a reference for dosimetric planning, Cone Beam CT (CBCT) is used throughout Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) to generate sCTs for…
We develop a sketching algorithm to find the point on the convex hull of a dataset, closest to a query point outside it. Studying the convex hull of datasets can provide useful information about their geometric structure and their…
As the medical usage of computed tomography (CT) continues to grow, the radiation dose should remain at a low level to reduce the health risks. Therefore, there is an increasing need for algorithms that can reconstruct high-quality images…
Small animal PET scanners require high spatial resolution and good sensitivity. To reconstruct high-resolution images in 3D-PET, iterative methods, such as OSEM, are superior to analytical reconstruction algorithms, although their high…
In the calculation of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) image reconstruction, System Response Matrix (SRM) characterizes the numerical relationship between measurement space and image space. Due to a significant amount of calculation and…
Proton radiography combined with X-ray computed tomography (CT) has been proposed to obtain a patient-specific calibration curve and reduce range uncertainties in cancer treatment with charged particles. The main aim of this study was to…
Imprecise measurements of a point set P = (p1, ..., pn) can be modelled by a family of regions F = (R1, ..., Rn), where each imprecise region Ri contains a unique point pi. A retrieval models an accurate measurement by replacing an…
Early detection of pulmonary cancer is the most promising way to enhance a patient's chance for survival. Accurate pulmonary nodule detection in computed tomography (CT) images is a crucial step in diagnosing pulmonary cancer. In this…
The separability assumption (Donoho & Stodden, 2003; Arora et al., 2012) turns non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) into a tractable problem. Recently, a new class of provably-correct NMF algorithms have emerged under this assumption. In…
The detection and analysis of the solar coronal holes (CHs) is an important field of study in the domain of solar physics. Mainly, it is required for the proper prediction of the geomagnetic storms which directly or indirectly affect…
Online reconstruction based on RGB-D sequences has thus far been restrained to relatively slow camera motions (<1m/s). Under very fast camera motion (e.g., 3m/s), the reconstruction can easily crumble even for the state-of-the-art methods.…
Iterative methods for tomographic image reconstruction have great potential for enabling high quality imaging from low-dose projection data. The computational burden of iterative reconstruction algorithms, however, has been an impediment in…
In general-purpose particle detectors, the particle-flow algorithm may be used to reconstruct a comprehensive particle-level view of the event by combining information from the calorimeters and the trackers, significantly improving the…
Spectral compressive imaging (SCI) is able to encode the high-dimensional hyperspectral image to a 2D measurement, and then uses algorithms to reconstruct the spatio-spectral data-cube. At present, the main bottleneck of SCI is the…
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is routinely collected during image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) to provide updated patient anatomy information for cancer treatments. However, CBCT images often suffer from streaking artifacts and…
Proton radiotherapy promises accurate dose delivery to a tumor and minimal dose deposition to all other tissues. However, in practice the planned dose distribution may not conform to the actual one due to noisy data and different types of…
Early detection of an infection prior to prosthesis removal (e.g., hips, knees or other areas) would provide significant benefits to patients. Currently, the detection task is carried out only retrospectively with a limited number of…
This paper presents a practical GPU-accelerated convex hull algorithm and a novel Sorting-based Preprocessing Approach (SPA) for planar point sets. The proposed algorithm consists of two stages: (1) two rounds of preprocessing performed on…
