Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) reconstruction with low radiation dose is a significant research point in current medical CT field. Compressed sensing has shown great potential reconstruct high-quality CT images from few-view or sparse-view data. In this paper, we use the sparser L1/2 regularization operator to replace the traditional L1 regularization and combine the Split Bregman method to reconstruct CT images, which has good unbiasedness and can accelerate iterative convergence. In the reconstruction experiments with simulation and real projection data, we analyze the quality of reconstructed images using different reconstruction methods in different projection angles and iteration numbers. Compared with algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) and total variance (TV) based approaches, the proposed reconstruction algorithm can not only get better images with higher quality from few-view data but also need less iteration numbers.

Accelerated Compressed Sensing Based CT Image Reconstruction.

TL;DR: A new algorithm is proposed that accelerates the CS-based reconstruction by using a fast pseudopolar Fourier based Radon transform and rebinning the diverging fan beams to parallel beams and removes the rebinning and interpolation errors.

Compressed sensing

TL;DR: It is possible to design n=O(Nlog(m)) nonadaptive measurements allowing reconstruction with accuracy comparable to that attainable with direct knowledge of the N most important coefficients, and a good approximation to those N important coefficients is extracted from the n measurements by solving a linear program-Basis Pursuit in signal processing.

Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction for Emission Tomography

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a more accurate general mathematical model for ET where an unknown emission density generates, and is to be reconstructed from, the number of counts n*(d) in each of D detector units d. Within the model, they gave an algorithm for determining an estimate? of? which maximizes the probability p(n*|?) of observing the actual detector count data n* over all possible densities?.

The Split Bregman Method for L1-Regularized Problems

TL;DR: This paper proposes a “split Bregman” method, which can solve a very broad class of L1-regularized problems, and applies this technique to the Rudin-Osher-Fatemi functional for image denoising and to a compressed sensing problem that arises in magnetic resonance imaging.

Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques (ART) for three-dimensional electron microscopy and X-ray photography

TL;DR: The method works for totally asymmetric objects, and requires little computer time or storage, and is also applicable to X-ray photography, and may greatly reduce the exposure compared to current methods of body-section radiography.
