Performance of Hull-Detection Algorithms For Proton Computed Tomography Reconstruction
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a novel imaging modality developed for patients receiving proton radiation therapy. The purpose of this work was to investigate hull-detection algorithms used for preconditioning of the large and sparse linear system of equations that needs to be solved for pCT image reconstruction. The hull-detection algorithms investigated here included silhouette/space car...
متن کاملProton computed tomography reconstruction using a backprojection-then-filtering approach.
A novel approach to proton CT reconstruction using backprojection-then-filtering (BPF) is proposed. A list-mode algorithm is formulated accommodating non-linear proton paths. The analytical form is derived for the deblurring kernel necessary for the filtering step. Further, a finite matrix correction is derived to correct for the limited size of the backprojection matrix. High quantitative accu...
متن کاملTotal variation superiorization schemes in proton computed tomography image reconstruction.
PURPOSE Iterative projection reconstruction algorithms are currently the preferred reconstruction method in proton computed tomography (pCT). However, due to inconsistencies in the measured data arising from proton energy straggling and multiple Coulomb scattering, the noise in the reconstructed image increases with successive iterations. In the current work, the authors investigated the use of...
متن کاملBlock-Iterative and String-Averaging Projection Algorithms in Proton Computed Tomography Image Reconstruction
Proton computed tomography (pCT) is an imaging modality that is based on tracking individual protons as they traverse the object to be imaged. Proton-by-proton tracking is necessary due to the effects of multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS), a process that deviates the proton path from a striaght line. If optimal spatial resolution is to be achieved, the path of each proton must be predicted with ...
متن کاملReconstruction with most likely trajectory for proton computed tomography
Advantages of proton computed tomography (pCT) have been recognized in the past decades. However, the quality of pCT images is limited due to the stochastic nature of the proton path inside the object. Numerous small angle scatters by the nuclei Coulomb field cause the exact proton path impossible to trace. The reconstruction from measurements of the proton energy-loss has a spatial resolution ...
