• Abstract: Primary health care frequently relies on low-cost imaging devices, which are commonly used for screening purposes. To ensure accurate diagnosis, these systems depend on advanced reconstruction algorithms designed to approximate the performance of high-quality counterparts. Such algorithms typically employ iterative reconstruction methods that incorporate domain-specific prior knowledge. However, downstream task performance is generally assessed using only the final reconstructed image, thereby disregarding the informative intermediate representations generated throughout the reconstruction process. In this work, we propose IRTTA to exploit these intermediate representations at test-time by adapting the normalization-layer parameters of a frozen downstream network via a modulator network that conditions on the current reconstruction timescale. The modulator network is learned during test-time using an averaged entropy loss across all individual timesteps. Variation among the timestep-wise segmentations additionally provides uncertainty estimates at no extra cost. This approach enhances segmentation performance and enables semantically meaningful uncertainty estimation, all without modifying either the reconstruction process or the downstream model.

• Tomographic Reconstruction and Regularisation with Search Space Expansion and Total Variation [0.0]
  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.
