Comparison of image reconstruction techniques for optical projection tomography

We present a comparison of image reconstruction techniques for optical projection tomography. We compare conventional filtered back projection, sinogram filtering using the frequency–distance relationship (FDR), image deconvolution, and 2D point-spread-function-based iterative reconstruction. The latter three methods aim to remove the spatial...

Point spread function based image reconstruction in optical projection tomography

As a result of the shallow depth of focus of the optical imaging system, the use of standard filtered back projection in optical projection tomography causes space-variant tangential blurring that increases with the distance to the rotation axis. We present a novel optical tomographic image reconstruction technique that incorporates the point...
