Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to a framelet-based iterative algorithm for polychromatic CT which can reconstruct two components using a single scan. The algorithm can have various steps including a scaled-gradient descent step of constant or variant step sizes; a non-negativity step; a soft thresholding step; and a color reconstruction step.

Abstract: Novel and advantageous systems and method for obtaining and/or reconstructing simultaneous computed tomography (CT)-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are provided. Structural coupling (SC) and compressive sensing (CS) techniques can be combined to unify and improve CT and MRI reconstruction. A bidirectional image estimation method can be used to connect images from different modalities, with CT and MRI data serving as prior knowledge to each other to produce better CT and MRI image quality than would be realized with individual reconstruction.

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: Novel and advantageous systems and methods for performing X-ray imaging by using an X-ray source with source grating functionality incorporated therein are provided. An electron beam can be electromagnetically manipulated such that the X-ray source emits radiation in a pattern that is the same as if the radiation had already passed through a source grating.

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: Novel and advantageous methods and systems for performing spectral computed tomography are provided. An edge-on detector, such as a silicon strip detector, can be used to receive X-rays after passing through a sample to be imaged. An energy resolving process can be performed on the collected X-ray radiation. The CT scanner can have third-generation or fourth-generation geometry.

Abstract: The present approach generally relates to systems and methods for implementing energy modulated tomographic imaging of nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, a first energy is used to activate probe particles labeling an anatomy or tissue of interest. The probe particles, once activated, emit photons at a different rate and/or spectrum in response to an underlying physiological event, such as action potentials propagating in the labeled anatomy or tissue. The emitted photons may then be detected and used to map or image the occurrence of the physiological event.

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.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided for MAR in CT images. A corrupted CT image, of a region of interest (ROI) of a subject, including artifacts caused by a metal object in the subject may be acquired. A corrupted sinogram including a corrupted region of corrupted data caused by the metal object and an uncorrupted region of uncorrupted data may be generated. A mask sinogram that delineates the corrupted region of the corrupted data may be generated. A corrected sinogram including the uncorrupted region of the uncorrupted data and an inpainted region of inpainted data corresponding to the corrupted region may be generated using a denoising diffusion probabilistic model, the corrupted sinogram, and the mask sinogram. A corrected CT image, of the ROI of the subject, that includes reduced artifacts relative to the artifacts in the corrupted CT image may be generated based on the corrected sinogram.
