What is it about?

Two few-view tomography algorithms that perform joint image reconstruction and segmentation are compared. They are the iterative Potts minimization algorithm (M. Storath et al. Inverse Problems 31: 025003, 2015) and the algebraic algorithm with TV-regularization and adaptive segmentation (V. V. Vlasov et al. J Electron Imaging 27: 043006, 2018).

Why is it important?

Even in conditions of noisy projection data, the studied algorithms are capable of accurately reconstructing a tomographic image from less than 10 views.

Perspectives

Both algorithms should be tested in experiments with phantoms and in clinical conditions. The authors hope that effective tomogram reconstruction technologies for commercial systems can be created based on the algorithms.
