• Title: Tomographic Reconstruction and Regularisation with Search Space Expansion and Total Variation
• Authors: Mohammad Majid al-Rifaie, Tim Blackwell,
• Abstract summary: Dealing with incomplete data is important when a patient is vulnerable to potentially damaging radiation or is unable to cope with the long scanning time. This paper uses a swarm-based reconstruction from highly undersampled data where particles move in image space in an attempt to minimise the reconstruction error. The proposed method is shown to produce lower reproduction errors compared to standard tomographic reconstruction toolbox algorithms.

• Abstract: The use of ray projections to reconstruct images is a common technique in medical imaging. Dealing with incomplete data is particularly important when a patient is vulnerable to potentially damaging radiation or is unable to cope with the long scanning time. This paper utilises the reformulation of the problem into an optimisation tasks, followed by using a swarm-based reconstruction from highly undersampled data where particles move in image space in an attempt to minimise the reconstruction error. The process is prone to noise and, in addition to the recently introduced search space expansion technique, a further smoothing process, total variation regularisation, is adapted and investigated. The proposed method is shown to produce lower reproduction errors compared to standard tomographic reconstruction toolbox algorithms as well as one of the leading high-dimensional optimisers on the clinically important Shepp-Logan phantom.

  We introduce a self-supervised deep learning architecture to segment catheters in longitudinal ultrasound images. The network architecture builds upon AiAReSeg, a segmentation transformer built with the Attention in Attention mechanism. We validated our model on a test dataset, consisting of unseen synthetic data and images collected from silicon aorta phantoms.

  Sparse-angle tomographic scans reduce radiation and accelerate data acquisition, but suffer from image artifacts and noise. Existing image processing algorithms can restore CT reconstruction quality but often require large training data sets or can not be used for truncated objects. This work presents a self-supervised projection inpainting method that allows optimizing missing projective views via gradient-based optimization.

• A Deep Generative Approach to Oversampling in Ptychography [9.658250977094562]
  A major drawback of ptychography is the long data acquisition time. We propose complementing sparsely acquired or undersampled data with data sampled from a deep generative network. Because the deep generative network is pre-trained and its output can be computed as we collect data, the experimental data and the time to acquire the data can be reduced.

  Optoacoustic (OA) imaging is based on excitation of biological tissues with nanosecond-duration laser pulses followed by detection of ultrasound waves generated via light-absorption-mediated thermoelastic expansion. OA imaging features a powerful combination between rich optical contrast and high resolution in deep tissues. No standardized datasets generated with different types of experimental set-up and associated processing methods are available to facilitate advances in broader applications of OA in clinical settings.

A modern Deep Learning framework is used to correct autonomously the setup incoherences, thus improving the quality of a ptychography reconstruction. We tested our system on both synthetic datasets and also on real data acquired at the TwinMic beamline of the Elettra synchrotron facility.

  Iterative reconstruction is one of the most promising ways to compensate for the increased noise due to reduction of photon flux. In this work we integrate the data-consistency as a conditional term into the iterative generative model for low-dose CT. The distance between the reconstructed image and the manifold is minimized along with data fidelity during reconstruction.
