Algebraic filter approach for fast approximation of nonlinear tomographic reconstruction methods
We present a computational approach for fast approximation of nonlinear tomographic reconstruction methods by filtered backprojection (FBP) methods. Algebraic reconstruction algorithms are the methods of choice in a wide range of tomographic applications, yet they require significant computation time, restricting their usefulness. We build upon recent work on the approximation of linear algebraic reconstruction methods and extend the approach to the approximation of nonlinear reconstruction methods which are common in practice. We demonstrate that if a blueprint image is available that is sufficiently similar to the scanned object, our approach can compute reconstructions that approximate iterative nonlinear methods, yet have the same speed as FBP
Four-dimensional tomographic reconstruction by time domain decomposition
Since the beginnings of tomography, the requirement that the sample does not
change during the acquisition of one tomographic rotation is unchanged. We
derived and successfully implemented a tomographic reconstruction method which
relaxes this decades-old requirement of static samples. In the presented
method, dynamic tomographic data sets are decomposed in the temporal domain
using basis functions and deploying an L1 regularization technique where the
penalty factor is taken for spatial and temporal derivatives. We implemented
the iterative algorithm for solving the regularization problem on modern GPU
systems to demonstrate its practical use
EIT Reconstruction Algorithms: Pitfalls, Challenges and Recent Developments
We review developments, issues and challenges in Electrical Impedance
Tomography (EIT), for the 4th Workshop on Biomedical Applications of EIT,
Manchester 2003. We focus on the necessity for three dimensional data
collection and reconstruction, efficient solution of the forward problem and
present and future reconstruction algorithms. We also suggest common pitfalls
or ``inverse crimes'' to avoid.Comment: A review paper for the 4th Workshop on Biomedical Applications of
