Accurate Coregistration between Ultra-High-Resolution Micro-SPECT and Circular Cone-Beam Micro-CT Scanners
Introduction. Spatially registering SPECT with CT makes it possible to anatomically localize SPECT tracers. In this study, an accurate method for the coregistration of ultra-high-resolution SPECT volumes and multiple cone-beam CT volumes is developed and validated, which does not require markers during animal scanning. Methods. Transferable animal beds were developed with an accurate mounting i...
متن کاملIterative reconstruction optimisations for high angle cone-beam micro-CT
We address several acquisition questions that have arisen for the high cone-angle helical-scanning micro-CT facility developed at the Australian National University. These challenges are generally known in medical and industrial cone-beam scanners but can be neglected in these systems. For our large datasets, with more than 2048 voxels, minimising the number of operations (or iterations) is cru...
متن کاملHigh-resolution helical cone-beam micro-CT with theoretically-exact reconstruction from experimental data.
PURPOSE In this paper we show that optimization-based autofocus may be used to overcome the instabilities that have, until now, made high-resolution theoretically-exact tomographic reconstruction impractical. To our knowledge, this represents the first successful use of theoretically-exact reconstruction in helical micro computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging. We show that autofocus-corrected, ...
متن کاملGeometric Parameters Estimation and Calibration in Cone-Beam Micro-CT
The quality of Computed Tomography (CT) images crucially depends on the precise knowledge of the scanner geometry. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate and calibrate the misalignments before image acquisition. In this paper, a Two-Piece-Ball (TPB) phantom is used to estimate a set of parameters that describe the geometry of a cone-beam CT system. Only multiple projections of the TPB phantom a...
متن کاملApplication of cone-beam micro-CT on high-speed Diesel flows and quantitative cavitation measurements
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is well-known and widely used in the medical sector for diagnosis of various illnesses. The technique is based on the absorption (i.e. attenuation) of the ionising electromagnetic radiation by the object. The amount of energy to be absorbed depends on the density and its thickness; the transmitted radiation through the object is then compared to the incident radia...
