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: 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.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reconstructing images for computed tomography are provided. Image reconstruction can be based on a realistic polychromatic physical model, and can include use of both an analytical algorithm and a single-variable optimization method. The optimization method can be used to solve the non-linear polychromatic X-ray integral model in the projection domain, resulting in an accurate decomposition for sinograms of two physical basis components.

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.
