Running Projects

Dynamic Cardiac Chamber Imaging in C-arm Computed Tomography

This project focuses on time-resolved volumetric reconstruction (i.e., 4-D imaging) of cardiac chambers from rotational angiography acquisitions. Two approaches are investigated: Motion-compensated analytic reconstruction as well as spatio-temporally regularized algebraic methods.

Motion Compensation using Surface Information in CBCT

The focus of this project is to use surface information to compensate for motion in C-arm cone-beam CT.

Motion Compensation in CBCT using Musculoskeletal Modeling

The goal of this project is to compensate for motion during C-arm cone-beam CT scans using a muskuloskeletal model based on inertial sensor data.

Motion Compensation for DynaCT Acquisitions

The focus of this project is the reconstruction of brain volumes acquired from patients suffering severe stroke using a C-arm system. Due to long acquisition times, standard reconstructions are corrupted by motion artifacts.

Flow Quantification using 4D Digital Subtraction Angiography

The goal of this project is to improve image quality of 4D DSA and estimate hemodynamic flow parameters from rotational angiography.

Novel applications for twin-robotic X-ray imaging

This project will mainly focus on developing new clinically beneficial applications using a novel ceiling-mounted twin-robotic X-ray system.

CONRAD

CONRAD is a software platform for simulation and reconstruction of flat-panel CT images.

Finished Projects

GPU based quantitative reconstruction in SPECT/CT

Graphical Processing Units (GPU)s with their tremendous parallelity concept and computational power are being used in this project to develop novel quantitative reconstruction algorithms.

Spatial-temporal Total Variation Regularization (STTVR) for 4D-CT Reconstruction

4D-CT reconstruction based on compressed sensing.
