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.

Abstract: A system for few-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction is described. The system includes a preprocessing module, a first generator network, and a discriminator network. The preprocessing module is configured to apply a ramp filter to an input sinogram to yield a filtered sinogram. The first generator network is configured to receive the filtered sinogram, to learn a filtered back-projection operation and to provide a first reconstructed image as output. The first reconstructed image corresponds to the input sinogram. The discriminator network is configured to determine whether a received image corresponds to the first reconstructed image or a corresponding ground truth image. The generator network and the discriminator network correspond to a Wasserstein generative adversarial network (WGAN). The WGAN is optimized using an objective function based, at least in part, on a Wasserstein distance and based, at least in part, on a gradient penalty.

Abstract: Computed tomography (CT) screening, diagnosis, or another image analysis tasks are performed using one or more networks and/or algorithms to either integrate complementary tomographic image reconstructions and radiomics or map tomographic raw data directly to diagnostic findings in the machine learning framework. One or more reconstruction networks are trained to reconstruct tomographic images from a training set of CT projection data. One or more radiomics networks are trained to extract features from the tomographic images and associated training diagnostic data. The networks/algorithms are integrated into an end-to-end network and trained. A set of tomographic data, e.g., CT projection data, and other relevant information from an individual is input to the end-to-end network, and a potential diagnosis for the individual based on the features extracted by the end-to-end network is produced. The systems and methods can be applied to CT projection data, MRI data, nuclear imaging data, ultrasound signals, optical data, other types of tomographic data, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: A stationary in-vivo grating-enabled micro-CT (computed tomography) architecture (SIGMA) system includes CT scanner control circuitry and a number of imaging chains. Each imaging chain includes an x-ray source array, a phase grating, an analyzer grating and a detector array. Each imaging chain is stationary and each x-ray source array includes a plurality of x-ray source elements. Each imaging chain has a centerline, the centerlines of the number of imaging chains intersect at a center point and a first angle between the centerlines of a first adjacent pair of imaging chains equals a second angle between the centerlines of a second adjacent pair of imaging chains. A plurality of selected x-ray source elements of a first x-ray source array is configured to emit a plurality of x-ray beams in a multiplexing fashion.

Abstract: Novel and advantageous systems and methods for performing X-ray imaging by extracting X-ray phase-shift and/or dark-field information through a detector that has built-in G2 functionality are provided. Grating translation can be replaced by an electrical operation in the detection procedure, thereby eliminating the need for the analyzer grating and the typical mechanical stepping process.

The second GAN includes a second generative neural network (F) configured to receive the training HR image dataset and to generate a corresponding estimated LR image dataset, and a second discriminative neural network (DX) configured to compare the training LR image dataset and the estimated LR image dataset. The system further includes an optimization module configured to determine an optimization function based, at least in part, on at least one of the estimated HR image dataset and/or the estimated LR image dataset. The optimization function contains at least one loss function. The optimization module is further configured to adjust a plurality of neural network parameters associated with at least one of the first GAN and/or the second GAN, to optimize the optimization function.
