• Abstract: The use of computed tomography (CT) imaging has become of increasing interest to academic areas outside of the field of medical imaging and industrial inspection, e.g., to biology and cultural heritage research. The pecularities of these fields, however, sometimes require that objects need to be imaged on-site, e.g., in field-work conditions or in museum collections. Under these circumstances, it is often not possible to use a commercial device and a custom solution is the only viable option. In order to achieve high image quality under adverse conditions, reliable calibration and trajectory reproduction are usually key requirements for any custom CT scanning system. Here, we introduce the construction of a low-cost disassemblable CT scanner that allows calibration even when trajectory reproduction is not possible due to the limitations imposed by the project conditions. Using 3D-printed in-image calibration phantoms, we compute a projection matrix directly from each captured X-ray projection. We describe our method in detail and show successful tomographic reconstructions of several specimen as proof of concept.

  Sparse-view computed tomography (SVCT) reconstruction aims to acquire CT images based on sparsely-sampled measurements. Due to ill-posedness, implicit neural representation (INR) techniques may leave considerable holes'' (i.e., unmodeled spaces) in their fields, leading to sub-optimal results. We propose the Coordinate-based Continuous Projection Field (CoCPF), which aims to build hole-free representation fields for SVCT reconstruction.

  We tackle the problem of reconstructing CT images from biplanar x-rays only. X-rays are widely available and even if the CT reconstructed from these radiographs is not a replacement of a complete CT in the diagnostic setting, it might serve to spare the patients from radiation. We propose a novel method based on the transformer architecture, by framing the underlying task as a language translation problem.

  Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) plays a vital role in clinical imaging. Traditional methods typically require hundreds of 2D X-ray projections to reconstruct a high-quality 3D CBCT image. This has led to a growing interest in sparse-view CBCT reconstruction to reduce radiation doses. We introduce a novel geometry-aware encoder-decoder framework to solve this problem.
