• Abstract summary: In four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), 3D images of moving or deforming samples are reconstructed from a set of 2D projection images. Recent techniques for iterative motion-compensated reconstruction either necessitate a reference acquisition or alternate image reconstruction and motion estimation steps. We propose the Motion-compensated Iterative Reconstruction Technique (MIRT)- an efficient iterative reconstruction scheme that combines image reconstruction and affine motion estimation in a single update step.

• Abstract: In four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT), 3D images of moving or deforming samples are reconstructed from a set of 2D projection images. Recent techniques for iterative motion-compensated reconstruction either necessitate a reference acquisition or alternate image reconstruction and motion estimation steps. In these methods, the motion estimation step involves the estimation of either complete deformation vector fields (DVFs) or a limited set of parameters corresponding to the affine motion, including rigid motion or scaling. The majority of these approaches rely on nested iterations, incurring significant computational expenses. Notably, despite the direct benefits of an analytical formulation and a substantial reduction in computational complexity, there has been no exploration into parameterizing DVFs for general affine motion in CT imaging. In this work, we propose the Motion-compensated Iterative Reconstruction Technique (MIRT)- an efficient iterative reconstruction scheme that combines image reconstruction and affine motion estimation in a single update step, based on the analytical gradients of the motion towards both the reconstruction and the affine motion parameters. When most of the state-of-the-art 4DCT methods have not attempted to be tested on real data, results from simulation and real experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art CT reconstruction with affine motion correction methods in computational feasibility and projection distance. In particular, this allows accurate reconstruction for a proper microscale diamond in the appearance of motion from the practically acquired projection radiographs, which leads to a novel application of 4DCT.

  4D time-space reconstruction of dynamic events or deforming objects using Xray computed tomography (CT) is an extremely ill-posed inverse problem. Existing approaches assume that the object remains static for the duration of several tens or hundreds of X-ray projection measurement images. We propose to perform a 4D time-space reconstruction using a distributed implicit neural representation network that is trained using a novel distributed training algorithm.

A mixed spatial-temporal NRSfMformer is used to simultaneously estimate the 3D reference skeleton and the skeleton deformation of each frame from 2D observations sequence.
