Abstract

Industrial tomography involves applications where experimental conditions may vary greatly. Some applications resemble more conventional medical tomography because a large number of projections are available. However, in other situations, scan time restrictions, object accessibility, or equipment limitations will reduce the number and/or angular range of the projections. This paper presents results from studies where both experimental conditions exist. The use of two algorithms, the more conventional filtered back projection (FBP) and the maximum entropy (MENT), are discussed and applied to several examples.

An adaptive filtered back-projection for photoacoustic image reconstruction

Journal Article Huang, He; Bustamante, Gilbert; Peterson, Ralph - Medical Physics

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an improved filtered-back-projection (FBP) algorithm for photoacoustic tomography (PAT), which allows image reconstruction with higher quality compared to images reconstructed through traditional algorithms. Methods: A rigorous expression of a weighting function has been derived directly from a photoacoustic wave equation and used as a ramp filter in Fourier domain. The authors’ new algorithm utilizes this weighting function to precisely calculate each photoacoustic signal’s contribution and then reconstructs the image based on the retarded potential generated from the photoacoustic sources. In addition, an adaptive criterion has been derived for selecting the cutoffmore »« less

An investigation of filter choice for filtered back-projection reconstruction in PET

Journal Article Farquhar, T; Chatziioannou, A; Chinn, G; ... - IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

A key parameter in the practical application of filtered back-projection (FBP), the standard clinical image reconstruction algorithm for positron emission tomography (PET), is the choice of a low-pass filter window function and its cut-off frequency. However, the filter windows and cut-off frequencies for clinical reconstruction are usually chosen empirically, based on a small sample of images and filters. By considering the features of the signal and noise spectra in a sinogram, the desired image resolution, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the filtered sinogram, a methodology for informed selection of a filter function and cut-off frequency for FBP was investigated.more »« less

Assessing image quality and dose reduction of a new x-ray computed tomography iterative reconstruction algorithm using model observers

Journal Article Tseng, Hsin-Wu; Kupinski, Matthew; Fan, Jiahua; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: A number of different techniques have been developed to reduce radiation dose in x-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging. In this paper, the authors will compare task-based measures of image quality of CT images reconstructed by two algorithms: conventional filtered back projection (FBP), and a new iterative reconstruction algorithm (IR). Methods: To assess image quality, the authors used the performance of a channelized Hotelling observer acting on reconstructed image slices. The selected channels are dense difference Gaussian channels (DDOG).A body phantom and a head phantom were imaged 50 times at different dose levels to obtain the data needed to assessmore »« less

MENT: a maximum entropy algorithm for reconstructing a source from projection data

Journal Article Minerbo, G - Comput. Graphics Image Process.; (United States)

A description is given of an iterative algorithm, MENT, which produces a maximum entropy solution to the problem of reconstructing a source from a discrete set of projection data. Whereas the MART algorithm considered by Lent (1976 Society of Photographic Scientists and Engineers Conference Proceedings, SPSE, Washington, DC, 1977) uses a rectangular grid to represent the source, MENT uses a discretization that is better suited to the problem. Unlike MART, MENT does not require the evaluation of logarithms or exponentials. The storage requirements are also lower for MENT. Numerical examples are given of a two-dimensional reconstruction from five views. MENTmore »« less

Influence of radiation dose and reconstruction algorithm in MDCT assessment of airway wall thickness: A phantom study

Journal Article Gomez-Cardona, Daniel; Nagle, Scott; Li, Ke; ... - Medical Physics

Purpose: Wall thickness (WT) is an airway feature of great interest for the assessment of morphological changes in the lung parenchyma. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has recently been used to evaluate airway WT, but the potential risk of radiation-induced carcinogenesis—particularly in younger patients—might limit a wider use of this imaging method in clinical practice. The recent commercial implementation of the statistical model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) algorithm, instead of the conventional filtered back projection (FBP) algorithm, has enabled considerable radiation dose reduction in many other clinical applications of MDCT. The purpose of this work was to study the impact of radiationmore »« less
