An improvement on the two-dimensional convolution method of image reconstruction and its application to SPECT

In single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and X-ray CT one-dimensional (1-D) convolution method is used for their image reconstruction from projections. The method makes a 1-D convolution filtering on projection data with a 1-D filter in the space domain, and back projects the filtered data for reconstruction. Images can also be reconstructed by first forming the 2-D backprojection images from projections and then convoluting them with a 2-D space-domain filter. This is the reconstruction by the 2-D convolution method, and it has the opposite reconstruction process to the 1-D convolution method. Since the 2-D convolution method is inferior to the 1-D convolution method in speed in reconstruction, it has no practical use. In the actual reconstruction by the 2-D convolution method, convolution is made on a finite plane which is called convolution window. A convolution window of size N X N needs a 2-D discrete filter of the same size. If better reconstructions are achieved with small convolution windows, the reconstruction time for the 2-D convolution method can be reduced. For this purpose, 2-D filters of a simple function form are proposed which can give good reconstructions with small convolution windows. They are here defined on a finite plane, depending on the window size used, although a filter function is usually defined on the infinite plane. They are however set so that they better approximate the property of a 2-D filter function defined on the infinite plane. Filters of size N X N are thus determined. Their value varies with window size. The filters are applied to image reconstructions of SPECT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Field-portable lensfree tomographic microscope

We present a field-portable lensfree tomographic microscope, which can achieve sectional imaging of a large volume (～20 mm(3)) on a chip with an axial resolution of <7 μm. In this compact tomographic imaging platform (weighing only ～110 grams), 24 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that are each butt-coupled to a fibre-optic waveguide are controlled through a cost-effective micro-processor to sequentially illuminate the sample from different angles to record lensfree holograms of the sample that is placed on the top of a digital sensor array. In order to generate pixel super-resolved (SR) lensfree holograms and hence digitally improve the achievable lateral resolution, multiple sub-pixel shifted holograms are recorded at each illumination angle by electromagnetically actuating the fibre-optic waveguides using compact coils and magnets. These SR projection holograms obtained over an angular range of ±50° are rapidly reconstructed to yield projection images of the sample, which can then be back-projected to compute tomograms of the objects on the sensor-chip. The performance of this compact and light-weight lensfree tomographic microscope is validated by imaging micro-beads of different dimensions as well as a Hymenolepis nana egg, which is an infectious parasitic flatworm. Achieving a decent three-dimensional spatial resolution, this field-portable on-chip optical tomographic microscope might provide a useful toolset for telemedicine and high-throughput imaging applications in resource-poor settings.     

X-ray fluorescence imaging with polycapillary X-ray optics

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry imaging is a powerful tool to provide information about the chemical composition and elemental distribution of a specimen. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry images were conventionally obtained by using a μ-X-ray fluorescence spectrometry spectrometer, which requires scanning a sample. Faster X-ray fluorescence spectrometry imaging would be achieved by eliminating the process of sample scanning. Thus, we developed an X-ray fluorescence spectrometry imaging instrument without sample scanning by using polycapillary X-ray optics, which had energy filter characteristics caused by the energy dependence of the total reflection phenomenon. In the present paper, we show that two independent straight polycapillary X-ray optics could be used as an energy filter of X-rays for X-ray fluorescence. Only low energy X-rays were detected when the angle between the two optical axes was increased slightly. Energy-selective X-ray fluorescence spectrometry images with projection mode were taken by using an X-ray CCD camera equipped with two polycapillary optics. It was shown that Fe Kα (6.40 keV) and Cu Kα (8.04 keV) could be discriminated for Fe and Cu foils.     

Overmodulation of projections as signal‐to‐noise enhancement method in EPR imaging

A study concerning the image quality in electron paramagnetic resonance imaging in two‐dimensional spatial experiments is presented. The aim of the measurements was to improve the signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of the projections and the reconstructed image by applying modulation amplitude higher than the radical electron paramagnetic resonance linewidth. Data were gathered by applying four constant modulation amplitudes, where one was below 1/3 (A_mod = 0.04 mT) of the radical linewidth (ΔB_pp = 0.14 mT). Three other modulation amplitude values were used in this experiment, leading to undermodulated (A_mod < 1/3 ΔB_pp), partially overmodulated (A_mod ~ 1/3 ΔB_pp) and fully overmodulated (A_mod > > 1/3 ΔB_pp) projections. The advantages of an applied overmodulation condition were demonstrated in the study performed on a phantom containing four shapes of 1.25 mM water solution of 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethyl‐1‐piperidinyloxyl. It was shown that even when the overmodulated reference spectrum was used in the deconvolution procedure, as well as the projection itself, the phantom shapes reconstructed as images directly correspond to those obtained in undermodulation conditions. It was shown that the best SNR of the reconstructed images is expected for the modulation amplitude close to 1/3 of the projection linewidth, which is defined as the distance from the first maximum to the last minimum of the gradient‐broadened spectrum. For higher modulation amplitude, the SNR of the reconstructed image is decreased, even if the SNR of the measured projection is increased. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Water gradient profiles at bean plant roots determined by neutron beam analysis

Summary We present profiles of the water gradient near the roots of bean plants measured by neutron beam analysis. Three kinds of bean plants were grown in cylindrical aluminum containers and were irradiated by thermal neutrons from a research reactor, JRR-3M, installed at Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute. After penetrating the sample, neutrons were converted to light by a fluorescent converter and the resulting photons were counted by a cooled CCD camera. Taking the projection images at different angles of the samples, CT images as well as simple projection images were constructed. It is seen here, for the first time, that water is significantly concentrated within the first 1 mm from the root surface in all three kinds of the plants. Soybean root grown under stress from added aluminum was studied by calculating root volumes and total root surface area from the spatial images. The suppression in root development as calculated from this nondestructive in-situ method correlates well with destructive techniques.     

Two-step sintering behavior of sol–gel derived nanocrystalline corundum abrasive with MgO–CaO–SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> additions

Nanocrystalline corundum abrasive with mean crystal size of less than 100 nm was synthesised by sol–gel process via two-step sintering technique. A remarkable suppression of grain growth was achieved by controlling sintering temperature and taking advantage of sintering aids (MgO–CaO–SiO₂) during the final stage of a two-step sintering process. The grain size of the high densification samples (>99% theoretical density) produced by two-step sintering method was about seven times less than that of the samples made by the conventional sintering technique. The microstructure of the samples was homogeneous without abnormal grain growth and the obtained corundum abrasive exhibited excellent abradability compared to conventional sintering methods.     

Fusion of 2-D SIMS Images Using the Wavelet Transform

 Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) is a powerful method for element distribution examination of conducting and semi-conducting surfaces at high spatial resolution and with a high sensitivity. Routine surface analysis produces about 8 to 15 images in a short time, each of which displays the intensity distribution of one mass, thus generating a multispectral SIMS image. Formation of occlusions, segregations, and the overall location of the elements relative to each other, are difficult to recognise when looking at n separate 2-D images. Image fusion is a process whereby images obtained from various sensors, or at different moments of time, or under different conditions, are combined together to provide a more complete picture of the object under investigation. The process of combining SIMS images may be viewed as an attempt to compensate for the inherent effect of SIMS to channel the information obtained from the sample into different images, corresponding to different element phases. The wavelet transform is a powerful method for fusion of images. This work covers the use of wavelet based fusion algorithms on multispectral SIMS images, evaluating the performance of different wavelet based fusion rules on different type of image systems and comparing the results to conventional fusion techniques. An aim of this study is to increase the information, i.e. the number of masses, which can be merged into one image in order to enhance the perception and interpretation of the SIMS surface images.     

Calcined sludge sintering evaluation by heating microscopy thermal analysis

Aiming the use of the sewage sludge produced in one of the largest Brazilian wastewater treatment stations as a raw material for the ceramic industry, the sintering process of the ashes produced from its calcination was evaluated by heating microscopy thermal analysis (HMTA). From the microprocessed images, a method was developed to obtain HMTA dimensional change curves as a function of temperature, equivalent to those usually obtained from dilatometers or by thermomechanical analysis (TMA). The final product after sintering at 1050°C, characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray dispersive energy, indicates the presence of a vitreous phase containing phosphorus, which explains the good sintering properties of the studied calcined sludge, as shown from its HMTA dimensional change curve.
