Helical and circular trajectories are expected to be adopted dominantly for data acquisition in X-ray cone-beam (CB) computed tomography (CT) imaging. However, non-conventional trajectories, such as tilted helical, saddle, circle-circle, and circle-line trajectories, may also find important applicat

β¦ Synopsis
The gated MRI method gives us several sets of cross-sectional images on transverse, coronal, and sagittal planes of the heart in a cardiac cycle. In this paper, a method to reconstruct 3-D shapes of each part of the heart (i.e., left ventricle, left atrium, right ventricle, right atrium, aorta, and pulmonary artery), in a voxel space using these sets of cross-sectional images is proposed. The whole heart image composed of these six parts properly put together can be superimposed on the original cross-sectional images for display purposes.

The well known technique for separately enhancing topographic and compositional contrast in BS images has been refined. The underlying quantitative theory has been developed, both for acquisition and processing, and tested first in the optical field. The surprisingly good results moved to return to
## Abstract Most partial Fourier (PF) approaches use a lowβresolution phase estimate in the reconstruction to account for nonβzero phases of the image. These methods may fail when there are large phase errors, a situation commonly encountered in __T__βweighted functional MRI (fMRI). To mitigate thi
Data which are sampled more densely than the Nyquist limit in k-space are weighted prior to reconstruction by the inverse of the local sampling density. This work considers the effects of weighting data that are sampled less densely than the Nyquist limit. It specifically analyzes azimuthally unders
