A novel reconstruction method is presented to improve the image quality of three dimensional (3D) datasets for samples consisting of only one material and surrounding air, obtained with high resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (μCT). It combines discrete tomography with iterative reconstruction algorithms, it is applicable for routine μCT applications and is referred to as the Experimental Dis...

introduction : one of the key factors in successful endodontic therapy is to adequately fill the root canals. the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the quality of four different root canal obturation techniques: cold lateral condensation (clc), warm vertical condensation (wvc), obtura ii (oii) and gutta flow (gf) by using micro-computed tomography (micro ct). materials and methods: a to...

New 3D medical images reconstruction algorithm is presented in this paper. It concerns utilization of digital processing and analysis of Computed Tomography images in process of 3D lungs reconstruction.

Computed tomography is a noninvasive technique for reconstructing an object from projection data. If the object consists of only a few materials, discrete tomography allows us to use prior knowledge of the gray values corresponding to these materials to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction. The Discrete Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (DART) is a reconstruction algorithm for discrete t...

X-ray computed tomography is an established volume imaging technique used routinely in medical diagnosis, industrial non-destructive testing, and a wide range of scientific fields. Traditionally, computed tomography uses scanning geometries with a single axis of rotation together with reconstruction algorithms specifically designed for this setup. Recently there has however been increasing inte...

BACKGROUND Complete mesocolic excision provides a correct anatomical plane for colon cancer surgery. However, manifestation of the surgical plane during laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision versus in computed tomography images remains to be examined. METHODS Patients who underwent laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision for right-sided colon cancer underwent an abdominal computed tomogra...

Project ILATO focuses on Improving Limited Angle computed Tomography by Optical data integration in order to enhance image quality and shorten acquisition times in X-ray based industrial quality inspection. Limited angle computed tomography is indicated whenever specimen dimensions exceed cone beam limits or the object is impenetrable from certain angles. Thus, acquiring only a subset of a full...
