Abstract
An optimization-based image reconstruction framework is developed specifically for bone imaging. This framework exploits voxel-sparsity by use of ℓ1-norm image regularization and it enables image reconstruction from sparse-view cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) acquisition. The effectiveness of the voxel-sparsity regularization is enhanced by using a blurred image representation. Ramp-filtering is included in the data discrepancy term and it has the effect of acting as a preconditioner, reducing the necessary number of iterations. The bone image reconstruction framework is demonstrated on CBCT data taken from an equine metacarpal condyle specimen.
