[Study on the complete conditions for exact reconstruction in volume CT].

Computed Tomography(CT) is one of the successful methods, in which mathematical theories are combined with engineering technology. Volume CT will replace the cross-sectional CT that has been widely used. In this paper two new cone vertex orbits, which are circle-and-arc and regular triangular pyramid lines, have been proposed and their complete conditions for exact reconstruction have been obtained. After having studied circle-and-n-line cone vertex orbit which is one of the important orbits in volume CT, we have given a better proof about the complete condition in circle-and-line and circle-and-2-line cone vertex orbit and have obtained some proper conclusions. Finally, we extend the above results to circle-and-n-line vertex orbit. These results will be useful for the design of direct volume imaging.

Projection-based bolus detection for computed tomographic angiography.

Computed tomographic (CT) angiography is important for imaging studies on cardiovascular structures, peripheral vessels, and solid organs. In practice, a CT angiography scan is triggered by the bolus arrival at a prespecified anatomical location, which is determined using CT fluoroscopy. In this article, we propose a projection-based method adapted from the Grangeat formula to detect the bolus arrival. Then, we evaluate our new method in numerical and animal studies. Our results indicate that this method allows significantly better temporal resolution and is computationally more efficient, as compared with the image-based methods.
