3-D Vector tomography of Doppler-transformed fields by filtered-backprojection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Filtered-backprojection formulae for the tomographic reconstruction of three-dimensional, divergenceless vector fields from their line integrals (Doppler transforms) are obtained, for both the cases of longitudinal and transverse measurement. The longitudinal formula is numerically simulated, and shown to be robust in the presence of noise. If, in the longitudinal case, there are non-zero normal components of the field on the boundary of the reconstruction region, there exists a harmonic component in the field that requires direct boundary measurements to determine. The derivation and implementation of the formulae are simple, and they are therefore easily adapted to specific experimental situations. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An efficient mollifier method for three-dimensional vector tomography: convergence analysis and implementation
Abstract We consider the problem of three-dimensional vector tomography, that means the reconstruction of vector fields and their curl from line integrals over certain components of the field. It is well known that only the solenoidal part of the field can be recovered from these data. In this paper the method of approximate inverse is modified for vector fields and applied to this problem, lea...
متن کاملConvolution backprojection formulas for 3-D vector tomography with application to MRI
Vector tomography is the reconstruction of vector fields from measurements of their projections. In previous work, it has been shown that the reconstruction of a general three-dimensional (3-D) vector field is possible from the so-called inner product measurements. It has also been shown how the reconstruction of either the irrotational or solenoidal component of a vector field can be accomplis...
متن کاملAn Improved Exact Inversion Formula for Cone Beam Vector Tomography
In this article we present an improved exact inversion formula for the 3D cone beam transform of vector fields. It is well known that only the solenoidal part of a vector field can be determined by the longitudinal ray transform of a vector field in cone beam geometry. The exact inversion formula, as it was developed in A. Katsevich and T. Schuster, An exact inversion formula for cone beam vect...
متن کاملImaging moving targets from scattered waves
We develop a linearized imaging theory that combines the spatial, temporal and spectral aspects of scattered waves. We consider the case of fixed sensors and a general distribution of objects, each undergoing linear motion; thus the theory deals with imaging distributions in phase space. We derive a model for the data that is appropriate for any waveform, and show how it specializes to familiar...
متن کاملOn the optimality of the filtered backprojection algorithm.
It is shown that under certain conditions the filtered backprojection algorithm produces a computed tomographic reconstruction for which the statistical accuracy attainable in the amplitude estimation of large-area objects meets the general lower bound derived by Tretiak. In this sense, filtered backprojection is an optimum algorithm.
