Industrial X-ray cone-beam CT (XCT) scanners are widely used for scientific imaging and non-destructive characterization. Industrial CBCT scanners use large detectors containing millions of pixels and the subsequent 3D reconstructions can…
The finite sensitivity of instruments or detection methods means that data sets in many areas of astronomy, for example cosmological or exoplanet surveys, are necessarily systematically incomplete. Such data sets, where the population being…
Metal artifact reduction (MAR) in computed tomography (CT) is a notoriously challenging task because the artifacts are structured and non-local in the image domain. However, they are inherently local in the sinogram domain. Thus, one…
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…
Recently, Transformer architecture has been introduced into image restoration to replace convolution neural network (CNN) with surprising results. Considering the high computational complexity of Transformer with global attention, some…
Computed Tomography (CT) takes X-ray measurements on the subjects to reconstruct tomographic images. As X-ray is radioactive, it is desirable to control the total amount of dose of X-ray for safety concerns. Therefore, we can only select a…
Patient motion during PET is inevitable. Its long acquisition time not only increases the motion and the associated artifacts but also the patient's discomfort, thus PET acceleration is desirable. However, accelerating PET acquisition will…
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction from a sparse number of views is a useful way to reduce either the radiation dose or the acquisition time, for example in fixed-gantry CT systems, however this results in an ill-posed inverse…
In some medical imaging tasks and other settings where only small parts of the image are informative for the classification task, traditional CNNs can sometimes struggle to generalise. Manually annotated Regions of Interest (ROI) are…
High quality reconstruction with interventional C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) requires exact geometry information. If the geometry information is corrupted, e. g., by unexpected patient or system movement, the measured signal…
Attenuation compensation (AC) is a pre-requisite for reliable quantification and beneficial for visual interpretation tasks in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Typical AC methods require the availability of an attenuation…
Attenuation compensation (AC) is beneficial for visual interpretation tasks in single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). However, traditional AC methods require the availability of a transmission…
Current methods for magnetic resonance-based positron emission tomography attenuation correction (PET-MR AC) are time consuming, and less able than computed tomography (CT)-based AC methods to capture inter-individual variability and skull…
Traditional dictionary learning based CT reconstruction methods are patch-based and the features learned with these methods often contain shifted versions of the same features. To deal with these problems, the convolutional sparse coding…
X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) imaging has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, non-destructive examination, and public safety inspection. Sparse-view (sparse view) CT has great potential in radiation dose reduction and scan…
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…
Computed tomography (CT) has been developed as a non-destructive technique for observing minute internal images of samples. It has been difficult to obtain photo-realistic (clean or clear) CT images due to various unwanted artifacts…
Sparse-view computed tomography (CT) is an effective method to reduce the radiation exposure in medical imaging. To reduce the severe streaking artifacts that occur in reconstructed images due to violation of the Nyquist/Shannon sampling…
Performing X-ray computed tomography (CT) examinations with less radiation has recently received increasing interest: in medical imaging this means less (potentially harmful) radiation for the patient; in non-destructive testing of…
Due to its wide field of view, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is plagued by large amounts of scatter, where attenuated photons hit the detector, and corrupt the linear models used for reconstruction. Given that one can generate a good…
