An Improved Extrapolation Scheme for Truncated CT Data Using 2D Fourier-Based Helgason-Ludwig Consistency Conditions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We improve data extrapolation for truncated computed tomography (CT) projections by using Helgason-Ludwig (HL) consistency conditions that mathematically describe the overlap of information between projections. First, we theoretically derive a 2D Fourier representation of the HL consistency conditions from their original formulation (projection moment theorem), for both parallel-beam and fan-beam imaging geometry. The derivation result indicates that there is a zero energy region forming a double-wedge shape in 2D Fourier domain. This observation is also referred to as the Fourier property of a sinogram in the previous literature. The major benefit of this representation is that the consistency conditions can be efficiently evaluated via 2D fast Fourier transform (FFT). Then, we suggest a method that extrapolates the truncated projections with data from a uniform ellipse of which the parameters are determined by optimizing these consistency conditions. The forward projection of the optimized ellipse can be used to complete the truncation data. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using simulated data and reprojections of clinical data. Results show that the root mean square error (RMSE) is reduced substantially, compared to a state-of-the-art extrapolation method.

Elliptical Extrapolation of Truncated 2D CT Projections Using Helgason-Ludwig Consistency Conditions
Image reconstruction from truncated tomographic data is an important practical problem in CT in order to reduce the X-ray dose and to improve the resolution. The main problem with the Radon Transform is that in 2D the inversion formula globally depends upon line integrals of the object function. The standard Filtered Backprojection algorithm (FBP) does not allow any type of truncation. A typica...
متن کاملImproving Analytical Tomographic Reconstructions Through Consistency Conditions
This work introduces and characterizes a fast parameterless filter based on the Helgason-Ludwig consistency conditions, used to improve the accuracy of analytical reconstructions of tomographic undersampled datasets. The filter, acting in the Radon domain, extrapolates intermediate projections between those existing. The resulting sinogram, doubled in views, is then reconstructed by a standard ...
متن کامل2D Constrained Reconstruction of Spectroscopic Imaging data using accurate segmentation of MR images
Introduction Spatial localisation is of fundamental importance for in vivo Spectroscopic Imaging (SI) studies yet the associated limitations can compromise a clear understanding of the relationship between observed spectra and physiology. In SI data reconstructed by discrete Fourier Transform (FT), the truncated k-space sampling leads to ‘ringing’ which can affect signal values within tissues o...

This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...
متن کاملExtrapolation of Transient Electromagnetic Response Using Approximate Prolate Series
A novel technique for extrapolation of transient response using early-time and low-frequency data is proposed in this paper. An improved extrapolation scheme using approximate prolate series is presented to obtain a transient electromagnetic response. The approximate prolate series, which has an approximately band-limited and sub-domain nature, is a better choice for extrapolating the timedomai...
