• Abstract summary: This work develops and validates a self-supervised probabilistic deep learning technique, the physics-informed variational autoencoder. Deep neural networks have been used to transform sparse 2-D projection measurements to a 3-D reconstruction by training on a dataset of known similar objects. High-quality reconstructions cannot be generated without deep learning, and the deep neural network cannot be learned without the reconstructions.

• Abstract: Computed tomography has propelled scientific advances in fields from biology to materials science. This technology allows for the elucidation of 3-dimensional internal structure by the attenuation of x-rays through an object at different rotations relative to the beam. By imaging 2-dimensional projections, a 3-dimensional object can be reconstructed through a computational algorithm. Imaging at a greater number of rotation angles allows for improved reconstruction. However, taking more measurements increases the x-ray dose and may cause sample damage. Deep neural networks have been used to transform sparse 2-D projection measurements to a 3-D reconstruction by training on a dataset of known similar objects. However, obtaining high-quality object reconstructions for the training dataset requires high x-ray dose measurements that can destroy or alter the specimen before imaging is complete. This becomes a chicken-and-egg problem: high-quality reconstructions cannot be generated without deep learning, and the deep neural network cannot be learned without the reconstructions. This work develops and validates a self-supervised probabilistic deep learning technique, the physics-informed variational autoencoder, to solve this problem. A dataset consisting solely of sparse projection measurements from each object is used to jointly reconstruct all objects of the set. This approach has the potential to allow visualization of fragile samples with x-ray computed tomography. We release our code for reproducing our results at: https://github.com/vganapati/CT_PVAE .

  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.

Our model learns to represent the 3D oral structure in an implicit way by mapping 2D coordinates into density values of voxels in the 3D space. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work of a non-adversarial-learning-based model in 3D radiology reconstruction from a single panoramic X-ray image.

  In inertial confinement fusion experiments, the neutron yield and other parameters cannot be completely accounted for with one and two dimensional models. This discrepancy suggests that there are three dimensional effects which may be significant. Sources of these effects include defects in the shells and shell interfaces, the fill tube of the capsule, and the joint feature in double shell targets. We utilize convolutional neural networks to produce different 3D representations of ICF implosions from the experimental data.
