ETR 2013 - Special Session on Enhanced X-ray Tomographic Reconstruction: Modeling and Algorithms

In recent years, significant advances have been made in the field of advanced X-ray imaging, pushing the limits of spatial resolution, temporal resolution, and image contrast far beyond what can be accomplished by current commercial scanners. By “advanced X-ray imaging” we refer to non-clinical imaging setups (i.e. synchrotrons, lab setups) that are, at their present stage of development,
mainly targeted at advancing science. Besides absorption contrast, phase contrast is gradually becoming a common complementary imaging modality in such devices, as well as 3D X-ray imaging modes based on collection of fluorescence and diffraction signals emitted from the sample.
The topic of the special session includes, but not limited to
? linear and non-linear modeling methods of X-ray imaging devices,
? novel type and/or custom tailored image reconstruction algorithms
? collecting and exploiting prior information in image reconstruction
? machine learning methods in tomography
? applications of the above fields in absorption-, phase-, fluorescent-, and
diffraction-contrast tomography
