We consider X-ray coherent scatter imaging, where the goal is to reconstruct momentum transfer profiles (spectral distributions) at each spatial location from multiplexed measurements of scatter. Each material is characterized by a unique…

Multi-energy CT has long demonstrated its ability to enhance image quality with material decomposition. Yet, it has largely been limited to applications that already have high contrast. More recently, x-ray phase-contrast (XPC) imaging has…

Kernelized maximum-likelihood (ML) expectation maximization (EM) methods have recently gained prominence in PET image reconstruction, outperforming many previous state-of-the-art methods. But they are not immune to the problems of…

Variational regularization models are one of the popular and efficient approaches for image restoration. The regularization functional in the model carries prior knowledge about the image to be restored. The prior knowledge, in particular…

This work is concerned with applying iterative image reconstruction, based on constrained total-variation minimization, to low-intensity X-ray CT systems that have a high sampling rate. Such systems pose a challenge for iterative image…

In a number of tomographic applications, data cannot be fully acquired, resulting in a severely underdetermined image reconstruction. In such cases, conventional methods lead to reconstructions with significant artifacts. To overcome these…

The parameter selection is crucial to regularization based image restoration methods. Generally speaking, a spatially fixed parameter for regularization item in the whole image does not perform well for both edge and smooth areas. A larger…

In the past decades, Computed Tomography (CT) has established itself as one of the most important imaging techniques in medicine. Today, the applicability of CT is only limited by the deposited radiation dose, reduction of which manifests…

In this work we consider the image reconstruction problem of sparsely sampled dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). DCE-MRI is a technique for acquiring a series of MR images before, during and after intravenous…

In many applications of tomography, the acquired projections are either limited in number or contain a significant amount of noise. In these cases, standard reconstruction methods tend to produce artifacts that can make further analysis…

Purpose: The set of linear attenuation coefficients that belong to materials in the human body is commonly assumed to be spanned by two basis functions in the range of clinical x-ray energies, even though there is evidence that the…

Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) enables material-specific imaging through acquisitions at two different X-ray energy spectra. Material decomposition from DECT data is an ill-posed inverse problem that is highly sensitive to noise…

We present a new estimator for the self-energy based on a combination of two equations of motion and discuss its benefits for numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculations. In challenging regimes, NRG results from the standard…

High energy dual-energy X-ray Digital Radiography(DR) imaging is mainly used in material recognition of the cargo inspection. We introduce the development history and the principle of the technology and describe the data process flow of our…

Regularization and interior point approaches offer valuable perspectives to address constrained nonlinear optimization problems in view of control applications. This paper discusses the interactions between these techniques and proposes an…

Optical diffraction tomography measures the three-dimensional refractive index map of a specimen and visualizes biochemical phenomena at the nanoscale in a non-destructive manner. One major drawback of optical diffraction tomography is poor…

We present DualMat, a novel dual-path diffusion framework for estimating Physically Based Rendering (PBR) materials from single images under complex lighting conditions. Our approach operates in two distinct latent spaces: an…

The throughout knowledge of a X-ray beam spectrum is mandatory to assess the quality of its source device. Since the techniques to directly measurement such spectra are expensive and laborious, the X-ray spectrum reconstruction using…

X-ray imaging allows for a non-invasive image of the internal structure of an object. The most common form of X-ray imaging, projectional radiography, is simply a projection or "shadow" of the object rather than a point-to-point image…

We present a new vectorial total variation method that addresses the problem of color consistent image filtering. Our approach is inspired from the double-opponent cell representation in the human visual cortex. Existing methods of…
