A multiscale optimisation algorithm for shape and material reconstruction from a single X-ray image (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Westmacott, H., Ivrissimtzis, I., & Weinzierl, T. (2024). A multiscale optimisation algorithm for shape and material reconstruction from a single X-ray image. In ICIGP '24: Proceedings of the 2024 7th International Conference on Image and Graphics Processing (252-259). https://doi.org/10.1145/3647649.3647690

We produce thickness and bone to soft tissue ratio estimations from a single, 2D medical X-ray image. For this, we simulate the scattering of the rays through a model of the object and embed this simulation into an optimiser which iteratively adjusts...

It is widely recognised that cells respond to their microenvironment, which has implications for cell culture practices. Growth cues provided by 2D cell culture substrates are far removed from native 3D tissue structure in vivo. Geometry is one of ma...
