    Abstract: Tomographic/tomosynthetic image reconstruction systems and methods in the framework of machine learning, such as deep learning, are provided. A machine learning algorithm can be used to obtain an improved tomographic image from raw data, processed data, or a preliminarily reconstructed intermediate image for biomedical imaging or any other imaging purpose. In certain cases, a single, conventional, non-deep-learning algorithm can be used on raw imaging data to obtain an initial image, and then a deep learning algorithm can be used on the initial image to obtain a final reconstructed image. All machine learning methods and systems for tomographic image reconstruction are covered, except for use of a single shallow network (three layers or less) for image reconstruction.

    Abstract: A second order neuron for machine learning is described. The second order neuron includes a first dot product circuitry and a second dot product circuitry. The first dot product circuitry is configured to determine a first dot product of an intermediate vector and an input vector. The intermediate vector corresponds to a product of the input vector and a first weight vector or the input vector and a weight matrix. The second dot product circuitry is configured to determine a second dot product of the input vector and a second weight vector. The input vector, the intermediate vector, the first weight vector and the second weight vector each contain a number, n, elements.

    Abstract: Systems and method for performing X-ray computed tomography (CT) that can improve spectral separation and decrease motion artifacts without increasing radiation dose are provided. The systems and method can be used with either a kVp-switching source or a single-kVp source. When used with a kVp-switching source, an absorption grating and a filter grating can be disposed between the X-ray source and the sample to be imaged. Relative motion of the filter and absorption gratings can by synchronized to the kVp switching frequency of the X-ray source. When used with a single-kVp source, a combination of absorption and filter gratings can be used and can be driven in an oscillation movement that is optimized for a single-kVp X-ray source. With a single-kVp source, the absorption grating can also be omitted and the filter grating can remain stationary.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of machine learning includes identifying, by an auto encoder network, a simulator feature based, at least in part, on a received first simulator data set and an emulator feature based, at least in part, on a received first emulator data set. The method further includes determining, by a synthesis control circuitry, a synthesized feature based, at least in part, on the simulator feature and based, at least in part, on the emulator feature; and generating, by the auto encoder network, an intermediate data set based, at least in part, on a second simulator data set and including the synthesized feature. Some embodiments of the method further include determining, by a generative artificial neural network, a synthesized data set based, at least in part, on the intermediate data set and based, at least in part, on an objective function.
