Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is widely used in clinical radiotherapy for image-guided treatment, improving setup accuracy, adaptive planning, and motion management. However, slow gantry rotation limits performance by introducing motion artifacts,…

Flat-panel cone-beam CT (CBCT) has been applied clinically in a number of high-resolution applications. Increasing geometric magnification can potentially improve resolution, but also increases blur due to an extended x-ray focal-spot. We…

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…

While compressed sensing (CS) based reconstructions have been developed for low-dose CBCT, a clear understanding on the relationship between the image quality and imaging dose at low dose levels is needed. In this paper, we qualitatively…

Obtaining accurate and reliable images from low-dose computed tomography (CT) is challenging. Regression convolutional neural network (CNN) models that are learned from training data are increasingly gaining attention in low-dose CT…

Recently, with the significant developments in deep learning techniques, solving underdetermined inverse problems has become one of the major concerns in the medical imaging domain. Typical examples include undersampled magnetic resonance…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used for image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). It provides real time visualization at low cost and dose. However, photon scattering and beam hindrance cause artifacts in CBCT. These include…

Computed Tomography (CT) is an imaging technique where information about an object are collected at different angles (called projections or scans). Then the cross-sectional image showing the internal structure of the slice is produced by…

Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is widely used for real-time intraoperative imaging due to its low radiation dose and high acquisition speed. However, despite its high resolution, CBCT suffers from significant artifacts and thereby…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems, with their flexibility, present a promising avenue for direct point-of-care medical imaging, particularly in critical scenarios such as acute stroke assessment. However, the integration of CBCT…

While micro-CT systems are instrumental in preclinical research, clinical micro-CT imaging has long been desired with cochlear implantation as a primary example. The structural details of the cochlear implant and the temporal bone require a…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) using only a few X-ray projection views enables faster scans with lower radiation dose, but the resulting severe under-sampling causes strong artifacts and poor spatial coverage. We address these…

In the practical applications of computed tomography imaging, the projection data may be acquired within a limited-angle range and corrupted by noises due to the limitation of scanning conditions. The noisy incomplete projection data…

We present a fully automated method of integrating intraoral scan (IOS) and dental cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) images into one image by complementing each image's weaknesses. Dental CBCT alone may not be able to delineate…

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in interventional surgeries and radiation oncology. Due to the limited size of flat-panel detectors, anatomical structures might be missing outside the limited field-of-view (FOV), which…

Assume you encounter an inverse problem that shall be solved for a large number of data, but no ground-truth data is available. To emulate this encounter, in this study, we assume it is unknown how to solve the imaging problem of Computed…

Image reconstruction from insufficient data is common in computed tomography (CT), e.g., image reconstruction from truncated data, limited-angle data and sparse-view data. Deep learning has achieved impressive results in this field.…

Accurate tooth identification and segmentation in Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) dental images can significantly enhance the efficiency and precision of manual diagnoses performed by dentists. However, existing segmentation methods…

Low dose CT is of great interest in these days. Dose reduction raises noise level in projections and decrease image quality in reconstructions. Model based image reconstruction can combine statistical noise model together with prior…

Dental template and parametric dental models are important tools for various applications in digital dentistry. However, constructing an unbiased dental template and accurate parametric dental models remains a challenging task due to the…
