Efficient Image Reconstruction Under Sparsity Constraints With Application To Mri And Bioluminescence Tomography

Michaël Unser, Matthieu Guerquin-Kern, Jean-Charles Baritaux

Most bioimaging modalities rely on indirect measurements of the quantity under investigation. The image is obtained as the result of an optimization problem involving a physical model of the measurement system. Due to the ill-posedness of the above problem ...

A Primal-Dual Reconstruction Algorithm For Fluorescence And Bioluminescence Tomography

Michaël Unser, Jean-Charles Baritaux

We introduce a new primal-dual reconstruction algorithm for fluorescence and bioluminescence tomography. As often in optical tomography, image reconstruction is performed by optimizing a multi-term convex cost function. Current reconstruction methods emplo ...

Sparsity-Driven Reconstruction for FDOT With Anatomical Priors

Michaël Unser, Martina Bucher, Kai Hassler, Jean-Charles Baritaux, Sebanti Sanyal

In this paper we propose a method based on (2, 1)-mixed-norm penalization for incorporating a structural prior in FDOT image reconstruction. The effect of (2, 1)-mixed-norm penalization is twofold: first, a sparsifying effect which isolates few anatomical ...

An Efficient Numerical Method for General

Michaël Unser, Kai Hassler, Jean-Charles Baritaux

Reconstruction algorithms for fluorescence tomography have to address two crucial issues : 1) the ill-posedness of the reconstruction problem, 2) the large scale of numerical problems arising from imaging of 3-D samples. Our contribution is the design and ...

A Priori Guided Reconstruction For Fdot Using Mixed Norms

Michaël Unser, Jean-Charles Baritaux

We propose new soft-prior approach for incorporating structural a priori in FDOT reconstruction. The technique is a non-linear regularization scheme based on the penalization of the (2, 1)-mixed norm. We solve the numerical reconstruction problem with an i ...

Wavelet-Regularized Reconstruction For Rapid MRI

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Cédric René Jean Vonesch, Matthieu Guerquin-Kern, Jean-Charles Baritaux

We propose a reconstruction scheme adapted to MRI that takes advantage of a sparsity constraint in the wavelet domain. We show that, artifacts are significantly reduced compared to conventional reconstruction methods. Our approach is also competitive with ...

Integrated Modeling And Reconstruction With Sparsity Constraints For fDOT

Michaël Unser, Matthieu Guerquin-Kern, Jean-Charles Baritaux

We present a numerical framework for Fluorescence Diffuse Optical Tomography (fDOT) that combines a forward model together with an iterative reconstruction procedure. Using rapid linear solvers, we derived an efficient reconstruction strategy for quadratic ...

A spline-based forward model for Optical Diffuse Tomography

Michaël Unser, Jean-Charles Baritaux

Reconstruction algorithms for Optical Diffuse Tomography (ODT) rely heavily on fast and accurate forward models. Arbitrary geometries and boundary conditions need to be handled rigorously since they are the only input to the inverse problem. From this pers ...
