We develop an approximate fan-beam algorithm to reconstruct an object with time-dependent nonrigid transformation such as the heart. The method is in the form of derivative backpro...

Abstract--Diffusion tensors are estimated from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) that are diffusion-weighted, and those images inherently contain noise. Therefore, noise in the diff...

Abstract-- The projection data measured in computed tomography (CT) and, consequently, the slices reconstructed from these data are noisy. We present a new wavelet based structurep...

We apply an information-theoretic cost metric, the symmetrized Kullback-Leibler (sKL) divergence, or -divergence, to fluid registration of diffusion tensor images. The difference b...
