AbstractWe present a tomographic reconstruction algorithm (flOPT), which is applied to Optical Projection Tomography (OPT) images, that is robust to mechanical jitter and systematic angular and spatial drift. OPT relies on precise mechanical rotation and is less mechanically stable than large-scale computer tomography (CT) scanning systems, leading to reconstruction artefacts. The algorithm uses multiple (5+) tracked fiducial beads to recover the sample pose and the image rays are then back-projected at each orientation. The quality of the image reconstruction using the proposed algorithm shows an improvement when compared to the Radon transform. Moreover, when adding a systematic spatial and angular mechanical drift, the reconstruction shows a significant improvement over the Radon transform.

This paper presents a mathematical characterization and analysis of beam-hardening artefacts in X-ray computed tomography (CT). In the field of dental and medical radiography, metal artefact reduction in CT is becoming increasingly important as artificial prostheses and metallic implants become more widespread in ageing populations. Metal artefacts are mainly caused by the beam-hardening of polychromatic X-ray photon beams, which causes mismatch between the actual sinogram data and the data model being the Radon transform of the unknown attenuation distribution in the CT reconstruction algorithm. We investigate the beam-hardening factor through a mathematical analysis of the discrepancy between the data and the Radon transform of the attenuation distribution at a fixed energy level. Separation of cupping artefacts from beam-hardening artefacts allows causes and effects of streaking artefacts to be analysed. Various computer simulations and experiments are performed to support our mathematical analysis.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we address an alternative formulation for the exact inverse formula of the Radon transform on circle arcs arising in a modality of Compton Scattering Tomography in translational geometry proposed by Webber and Miller (Inverse Problems (36)2, 025007, 2020). The original study proposes a first method of reconstruction, using the theory of Volterra integral equations. The numerical realization of such a type of inverse formula may exhibit some difficulties, mainly due to stability issues. Here, we provide a suitable formulation for exact inversion that can be straightforwardly implemented in the Fourier domain. Simulations are carried out to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed reconstruction algorithm.</p>
