dc.description.abstract | No convergent ordered subsets (OS) type image reconstruction algorithms for transmission tomography have been proposed to date. In contrast, in emission tomography, there are two known families of convergent OS algorithms: methods that use relaxation parameters (Ahn and Fessler, 2003), and methods based on the incremental expectation maximization (EM) approach (Hsiao et al., 2002). This paper generalizes the incremental EM approach by introducing a general framework that we call “incremental optimization transfer.” Like incremental EM methods, the proposed algorithms accelerate convergence speeds and ensure global convergence (to a stationary point) under mild regularity conditions without requiring inconvenient relaxation parameters. The general optimization transfer framework enables the use of a very broad family of non-EM surrogate functions. In particular, this paper provides the first convergent OS-type algorithm for transmission tomography. The general approach is applicable to both monoenergetic and polyenergetic transmission scans as well as to other image reconstruction problems. We propose a particular incremental optimization transfer method for (nonconcave) penalized-likelihood (PL) transmission image reconstruction by using separable paraboloidal surrogates (SPS). Results show that the new “transmission incremental optimization transfer (TRIOT)” algorithm is faster than nonincremental ordinary SPS and even OS-SPS yet is convergent. | en_US |
