Region-of-Interest (ROI) tomography aims at reconstructing a region of interest $C$ inside a body using only x-ray projections intersecting $C$ with the goal to reduce overall radiation exposure when only a small specific region of the body…
X-ray diffraction tomography (XDT) resolves spatially-variant XRD profiles within macroscopic objects, and provides improved material contrast compared to the conventional transmission-based computed tomography (CT). However, due to the…
Differential phase contrast interior tomography allows for reconstruction of a refractive index distribution over a region of interest (ROI) for visualization and analysis of internal structures inside a large biological specimen. In this…
When it comes to computed tomography (CT), the possibility to reconstruct a small region-of-interest (ROI) using truncated projection data is particularly appealing due to its potential to lower radiation exposure and reduce the scanning…
Interior tomography is a typical strategy for radiation dose reduction in computed tomography, where only a certain region-of-interest (ROI) is scanned. However, given the truncated projection data, ROI reconstruction by conventional…
Spectral photon-counting X-ray CT (sCT) opens up new possibilities for the quantitative measurement of materials in an object, compared to conventional energy-integrating CT or dual energy CT. However, achieving reliable and accurate…
Interior tomography for the region-of-interest (ROI) imaging has advantages of using a small detector and reducing X-ray radiation dose. However, standard analytic reconstruction suffers from severe cupping artifacts due to existence of…
In high-performance computing (HPC) environments, particularly in synchrotron radiation facilities, vast amounts of X-ray images are generated. Processing large-scale X-ray Computed Tomography (X-CT) datasets presents significant…
Objective: There exist several X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning strategies to reduce a radiation dose, such as (1) sparse-view CT, (2) low-dose CT, and (3) region-of-interest (ROI) CT (called interior tomography). To further reduce…
X-ray is a ubiquitous imaging modality in clinical diagnostics and industrial inspections, thanks to its high penetration power. Conventional x-ray imaging system, equipped with energy-integrating detectors, collects approximately 1000 to…
Recently, an ultra-low-cost linear scan based tomography architecture was proposed by our team. Similar to linear tomosynthesis, the source and detector are translated in opposite directions and the data acquisition system targets on a…
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a novel medical imaging modality for mapping the distribution of proton relative stopping power (RSP) in medical objects of interest. Compared to conventional X-ray computed tomography, where range…
Computed Tomography (CT) is an essential non-destructive three dimensional imaging modality used in medicine, security screening, and inspection of manufactured components. Typical CT data acquisition entails the collection of a thousand or…
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…
Computed tomography for region-of-interest (ROI) reconstruction has advantages of reducing X-ray radiation dose and using a small detector. However, standard analytic reconstruction methods suffer from severe cupping artifacts, and existing…
We propose a general methodology for efficient statistical reconstruction of a quantum state through collection and analysis of photon counting statistics. Our approach includes both strict quantitative criteria for adequacy and…
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is one of widely used diagnostic tools for medical and dental tomographic imaging of the human body. However, the standard filtered backprojection reconstruction method requires the complete knowledge of the…
Traditional X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning strategies typically select projection angles uniformly and allocate dose equally. In practice, however, CT scans often need to be fast, radiation-efficient, and adaptive. Sparse-view…
X-Ray Phase-Contrast Imaging (PCI) yields absorption, differential phase, and dark-field images. Computed Tomography (CT) of grating-based PCI can in principle provide high-resolution soft-tissue contrast. Recently, grating-based PCI took…
Quantum optimization for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction is constrained by the number of binary variables required for image representation, making direct whole-image quantum reconstruction difficult for large or structurally…
