System and Method for Tomographic Imaging with Antenna Calibration
A tomographic imaging system including an extended source antenna, which produces a wavefield scattered by the internal structure of an object. A processor recursively reconstructs the internal structure by processing a current image of the internal structure of the object with a neural network operator trained to synthesize measurements of a point-source antenna corresponding to a wavefield scattered by the current image of the internal structure of the object, processing the synthesized measurements of the point-source antenna with a calibration neural network to estimate measurements of the extended-source antenna, and updating the current image of the internal structure of the object based on a difference between the measurements of the extended-source antenna and the estimation of the measurements produced by the calibration neural network.
Ultra-fast-pitch acquisition and reconstruction in helical computed tomography
Images are reconstructed from data acquired using an ultra-fast-pitch acquisition with a CT system. As an example, an ultra-fast-pitch acquisition mode in single-source helical CT (1.5) can be used to acquire data. A trained machine learning algorithm, such as a neural network, is used to reconstruct images in which artifacts associated with insufficient data acquired in the ultra-fast-pitch mode are reduced. An example neural network can include customized functional modules using both local and non-local operators, as well as the z-coordinate of each image, to effectively suppress the location- and structure-dependent artifacts induced by the ultra-fast-pitch mode. The machine learning algorithm can be trained using a customized loss function that involves image-gradient-correlation loss and feature reconstruction loss.

Artifact and/or movement correction in medical images
A computer-implemented method includes where at least one projection mapping pair of an object under examination by a medical biplane imaging device is acquired. The at least one projection mapping pair contains a first and a second projection mapping of the object under examination, that map the object under examination simultaneously in a first and a second detection plane. The first and second detection planes are arranged non-parallel to one another. A correction model for the correction of an artifact and/or a movement is determined. The artifact or the movement is mapped simultaneously in the at least one first and the at least one second projection mapping. The at least one projection mapping pair specifies a consistency condition for the determination of the correction model. The result dataset is reconstructed at least from the at least one first projection mapping and on the basis of the correction model.
X-ray CT apparatus and CT image reconstruction method
To reduce an unnatural distortion of an image that occurs in a case in which a high absorption body of X-rays is included in movement correction image reconstruction processing of a CT image. High absorption body presence or absence determination processing of determining whether or not a high absorption body of X-rays is included is added to movement correction image reconstruction processing, and processing of limiting pixel values of an image pair used for movement correction or processing of selecting an image pair used for calculating a movement vector is performed based on a result of the determination. An X-ray CT apparatus includes a high absorption body determination unit or a pixel value adjustment unit to perform these pieces of processing.
