This work investigates the effectiveness of using machine learning to post-process EIT images of respiration, validated against a CT scan taken immediately after the EIT data collection, and the dependence of the results on the reconstruction algorithm used to compute the pre-processed image. Here, a training set for post-processing is computed from a set of CT scans, and a deep learning neural network is used to post-process EIT images from patients with cystic fibrosis reconstructed using (a) the D-bar method and (b) one step of a Gauss-Newton method. The images are compared using the structural similarity index measure (SSIM) to 'ground truth' EIT images derived from the CT scans. Results show that while the deep learning post-processing method effectively sharpens edges and reduces blurring, the spatial accuracy depends on the original algorithm used to compute the pre-processed image. The D-bar images result in a higher SSIM than the Gauss-Newton images, and while both sets of images are able to detect a large region of air trapping, they differ when estimating the extent of pathology.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EIT systems using a circumferential array applied to the abdomen can be used to monitor acute intra-abdominal hemorrhages in trauma patients. Nevertheless, these patients may also have suffered spinal injuries that might be exacerbated by lifting the patient to place the array. Thus, a half array ('hemiarray') applied only to the anterior abdomen may be more practical. However, severe reconstruction artifacts result in posterior regions using standard EIT reconstruction methods. This study proposes a novel machine learning-based approach for standard full and hemiarray EIT reconstructions, demonstrating superior reconstruction characteristics compared to conventional methods. Notably, our method mitigates the challenges of reconstructing anomalies in posterior regions. This performance advantage was consistently observed across reconstructions from simulated and real tank data. Based on our findings, we conclude that the machine learning-based hemiarray reconstruction method holds significant promise for challenging imaging scenarios, particularly when access to the anterior or posterior abdomen is restricted.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CT scanner consists of an X-ray source that is spun around an object of interest. On the opposite end of the X-ray source, a detector captures X-rays that are not absorbed by the object. The reconstruction of an image is a linear inverse problem, which is usually solved by filtered back projection. However, when the number of measurements is small, the reconstruction problem is ill-posed. This is for example the case when the X-ray source is not spun completely around the object, but rather irradiates the object only from a limited angle. To tackle this problem, we present a deep neural network that is trained on a large amount of carefully-crafted synthetic data and can perform limited-angle tomography reconstruction even for only 30° or 40° sinograms. With our approach we won the first place in the Helsinki Tomography Challenge 2022.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135152847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If slice-wise 2D computed tomography (CT) measurements of the moving object are obtained we call it a sequential scanning geometry. In this case, each slice on its own does not carry sufficient information to reconstruct a useful tomographic image. Thus, here we propose the use of a Dimension reduced Kalman Filter to accumulate information between slices and allow for sufficiently accurate reconstructions for further assessment of the object. Additionally, we propose to use an unsupervised clustering approach known as Density Peak Advanced, to perform a segmentation and spot density anomalies in the internal structure of the reconstructed objects. We evaluate the method in a proof of concept study for the application of wood log scanning for the industrial sawing process, where the goal is to spot anomalies within the wood log to allow for optimal sawing patterns. Reconstruction and segmentation quality are evaluated from experimental measurement data for various scenarios of severely undersampled X-measurements. Results show clearly that an improvement in reconstruction quality can be obtained by employing the Dimension reduced Kalman Filter allowing to robustly obtain the segmented logs.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"340 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the numerous algorithms proposed to improve imaging quality, reconstructing fine details remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid domain framework that combines classical methods and learning-based methods to address this challenge. Our framework decomposes the solution of the least-squares problem into back-projection and deconvolution steps, leading to a significant improvement in reconstruction quality. Furthermore, we employ a conditional diffusion model to further fine-tune the reconstruction results, simultaneously preserving data consistency and enhancing the realness of the reconstructed images. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is evaluated using the Helsinki Tomography Challenge 2022 (HTC 2022) dataset. Comparative evaluations demonstrate that our framework outperforms previous methods in both visual quality and quantitative measures. These findings highlight the potential of the proposed framework in improving LACT reconstruction and offer valuable insights for advancing imaging techniques in various fields.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135106491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sparsity promoting computational inverse methods have proven to be effective in providing point estimates for the volumetric image. Such techniques have been enhanced by leveraging sequential joint sparsity information from nearby aperture windows. This investigation extends these ideas by introducing a Bayesian volumetric approach that leverages the assumption of sequential joint sparsity. In addition to obtaining a point estimate, our new approach also enables uncertainty quantification. As demonstrated in simulated experiments, our approach compares favorably to currently used methodology for point estimate approximations, and has the additional advantage of providing uncertainty quantification for two-dimensional projections of the volumetric image.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135053176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Edge Inpainting method involves multiple stages, including classical reconstruction using Perona-Malik, detection of visible edges, inpainting invisible edges using a U-Net, and final segmentation using a U-Net. The LPD approach adapts the classical LPD by using large U-Nets in the primal update and replacing the adjoint with the filtered back projection (FBP). Since the challenge only provided five samples, we generated synthetic data to train the networks. The Edge Inpainting Method performed well for viewing ranges above 70 degrees, while the LPD approach performed well across all viewing ranges and ranked second overall in the challenge.","PeriodicalId":493031,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics for Modern Challenges","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135057383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
