• Authors: Anish Lahiri, Marc Klasky, Jeffrey A. Fessler and Saiprasad Ravishankar
• Abstract summary: As the number of available projections decreases, traditional reconstruction techniques perform poorly. Deep learning-based reconstruction have garnered a lot of attention in applications because they yield better performance when enough training data is available. This work focuses on image reconstruction in such settings, when both the number of available CT projections and the training data is extremely limited.

• Abstract: Reconstruction of CT images from a limited set of projections through an object is important in several applications ranging from medical imaging to industrial settings. As the number of available projections decreases, traditional reconstruction techniques such as the FDK algorithm and model-based iterative reconstruction methods perform poorly. Recently, data-driven methods such as deep learning-based reconstruction have garnered a lot of attention in applications because they yield better performance when enough training data is available. However, even these methods have their limitations when there is a scarcity of available training data. This work focuses on image reconstruction in such settings, i.e., when both the number of available CT projections and the training data is extremely limited. We adopt a sequential reconstruction approach over several stages using an adversarially trained shallow network for 'destreaking' followed by a data-consistency update in each stage. To deal with the challenge of limited data, we use image subvolumes to train our method, and patch aggregation during testing. To deal with the computational challenge of learning on 3D datasets for 3D reconstruction, we use a hybrid 3D-to-2D mapping network for the 'destreaking' part. Comparisons to other methods over several test examples indicate that the proposed method has much potential, when both the number of projections and available training data are highly limited.

  Deep learning techniques have been used to improve image quality in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) We provide an overview of deep learning techniques that have successfully been shown to reduce artifacts in 3D, as well as in time-resolved (4D) CBCT. One of the key findings of this work is an observed trend towards the use of generative models including GANs and score-based or diffusion models.
