3D Reconstructions from Few Projections in Oral Radiology

subject

description

Established techniques for three-dimensional radiographic reconstruction such as computed tomography (CT) or, more recently cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) require an extensive set of measurements/ projections from all around an object under study. The x-ray dose for the patient is rather high. Cutting down the number of projections drastically yields a mathematically challenging reconstruction problem. Few-view 3D reconstruction techniques commonly known as “tomosynthetic reconstructions” have gained increasing interest with recent advances in detector and information technology.
