In practice, mis-calibrated detector pixels give rise to wide and faint ring artifacts in the reconstruction image of the In-line phase-contrast computed tomography (IL-PC-CT). Ring artifacts correction is essential in IL-PC-CT. In this study, a novel method of wide and faint ring artifacts correction was presented based on combining TV-L1 model with guided image filtering (GIF) in the reconstruction image domain. The new correction method includes two main steps namely, the GIF step and the TV-L1 step. To validate the performance of this method, simulation data and real experimental synchrotron data are provided. The results demonstrate that TV-L1 model with GIF step can effectively correct the wide and faint ring artifacts for IL-PC-CT.

We strive to overcome the challenges posed by ring artifacts in X-ray computed tomography (CT) by developing a novel approach for generating training data for deep learning-based methods. Training such networks require large, high quality, datasets that are often generated in the data domain, time-consuming and expensive. Our objective is to develop a technique for synthesizing realistic ring artifacts directly in the image domain, enabling scalable production of training data without relying on specific imaging system physics.

Photoacoustic tomography, a novel non-invasive imaging modality, combines the principles of optical and acoustic imaging for use in biomedical applications. In scenarios where photoacoustic signal acquisition is insufficient due to sparse-view sampling, conventional direct reconstruction methods significantly degrade image resolution and generate numerous artifacts. To mitigate these constraints, a novel sinogram-domain priors guided extremely sparse-view reconstruction method for photoacoustic tomography boosted by enhanced diffusion model is proposed.

Article Synopsis
- Propagation-based imaging computed tomography (PBI-CT) is gaining popularity for visualizing low-density materials thanks to its high resolution and image contrast, but it poses radiation risks in live animal imaging due to high doses.
- This study integrates a deep learning method called Sparse2Noise with PBI-CT to significantly reduce radiation exposure (up to 90%) while preserving image quality, showing improved results over traditional low-dose imaging methods.
- The findings indicate that Sparse2Noise provides a better signal-to-noise ratio compared to two other advanced low-dose algorithms, enhancing the effectiveness of PBI-CT for biomedical applications.
