Techniques in Iterative Proton CT Image Reconstruction
2015
Sensing and Imaging
Preserved Fulltext
Other Versions
This is a review paper on some of the physics, modeling, and iterative algorithms in proton computed tomography (pCT) image reconstruction. ...
These algorithmic schemes allow flexibility of choosing blocks, strings, and other parameters. They also cater for parallel implementations which are apt to further save clock time in computations. ...
The authors also thank Dan Gordon for reading and constructively commenting on an earlier version of the paper. We thank three anonymous referees for their reviews which helped us improve the paper. ...
