Algorithmic X-ray scatter compensation is a desirable technique in flat-panel X-ray imaging and cone-beam computed tomography. State-of-the-art U-net based image translation approaches yielded promising results. As there are no physics…
Cone-beam CT (CBCT) employs a flat-panel detector to achieve three-dimensional imaging with high spatial resolution. However, CBCT is susceptible to scatter during data acquisition, which introduces CT value bias and reduced tissue contrast…
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…
X-ray computed tomography (CT) using sparse projection views is a recent approach to reduce the radiation dose. However, due to the insufficient projection views, an analytic reconstruction approach using the filtered back projection (FBP)…
Multi-source stationary computed tomography (MSS-CT) offers significant advantages in medical and industrial applications due to its gantry-less scan architecture and/or capability of simultaneous multi-source emission. However, the lack of…
Scatter due to interaction of photons with the imaged object is a fundamental problem in X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). It manifests as various artifacts in the reconstruction, making its abatement or correction critical for image quality.…
