Published: October 2012

We develop an algorithm to reconstruct the wavelet coefficients of an image from the Radon transform data. The proposed method uses the properties of wavelets to localize the Radon transform and can be used to reconstruct a local region of the cross section of a body, using almost completely local data that significantly reduces the amount of exposure and computations in X-ray tomography. The property that distinguishes our algorithm from the previous algorithms is based on the observation that for some wavelet bases with sufficiently many vanishing moments, the ramp-filtered version of the scaling function as well as the wavelet function has extremely rapid decay. We show that the variance of the elements of the null-space is negligible in the locally reconstructed image. Also, we find an upper bound for the reconstruction error in terms of the amount of data used in the algorithm. To reconstruct a local region 16 pixels in radius in a 256x256 image, we require 22% of full exposure data.

Computational Generation of Long-range Axonal Morphologies.

Neuroinformatics

January 2025

Blue Brain Project, EPFL, Chemin des mines 9, 1202, Geneva, Switzerland.

Long-range axons are fundamental to brain connectivity and functional organization, enabling communication between different brain regions. Recent advances in experimental techniques have yielded a substantial number of whole-brain axonal reconstructions. While previous computational generative models of neurons have predominantly focused on dendrites, generating realistic axonal morphologies is more challenging due to their distinct targeting.

Purpose: With the widespread introduction of dual energy computed tomography (DECT), applications utilizing the spectral information to perform material decomposition became available. Among these, a popular application is to decompose contrast-enhanced CT images into virtual non-contrast (VNC) or virtual non-iodine images and into iodine maps. In 2021, photon-counting CT (PCCT) was introduced, which is another spectral CT modality.

Third trimester fetal 4D flow MRI with motion correction.

Magn Reson Med

January 2025

Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, Amsterdam University Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Purpose: To correct maternal breathing and fetal bulk motion during fetal 4D flow MRI.

Methods: A Doppler-ultrasound fetal cardiac-gated free-running 4D flow acquisition was corrected post hoc for maternal respiratory and fetal bulk motion in separate automated steps, with optional manual intervention to assess and limit fetal motion artifacts. Compressed-sensing reconstruction with a data outlier rejection algorithm was adapted from previous work.

Department of Urology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Yijishan Hospital, Wuhu, 241001, Anhui, People's Republic of China.

To create a diagnostic tool before biopsy for patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels < 20 ng/ml to minimize prostate biopsy-related discomfort and risks. Data from 655 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2021 to January 2023 were collected and analyzed. After applying the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique class balancing on the training set, multiple machine learning models were constructed by using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) feature selection to identify the significant variables.
