With the development of compressive sensing theory, image reconstruction from few-view projections has received considerable research attentions in the field of computed tomography (CT). Total-variation- (TV-) based CT image reconstruction has been shown to be experimentally capable of producing accurate reconstructions from sparse-view data. In this study, a distributed reconstruction algorithm based on TV minimization has been developed. This algorithm is very simple as it uses the alternating direction method. The proposed method can accelerate the alternating direction total variation minimization (ADTVM) algorithm without losing accuracy.

GPU based sparse reconstruction shows great significance in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). This paper proposes a GPU based efficient algorithm for sparse view CBCT reconstruction. The reconstruction problem is converted to a constrained optimization using total variation minimization. The alternating direction method is adopted to solve it efficiently. Furthermore, a linearized proximity and FFT techniques are used for improving computation efficiency. To tackle with the most time consumption of forward and backward projection operation, the GPU hardware acceleration is utilized. The simulation experiments indicate that the new method is able to realize high accuracy reconstruction for CBCT with high speed.
