| Abriss: | The term super-resolution refers to the process of combining a set of low-resolution images into a high-resolution image using image processing methods. This work is concerned with the reconstruction of high-resolution X-ray images. Specifically, we address the problem of acquiring X-ray images from multiple, very close view points.We propose to use a novel experimental robotic C-arm device to create high-resolution X-ray images. For this purpose, we suggest different strategies for acquiring multiple low-resolution images, and we provide the steps to achieve acquisition-error compensation. Compared to visible light images, X-ray images have the particularity that parallax effects render super-resolution very difficult. Using the acquired multi-frame data, we evaluate recent well-known super-resolution reconstruction algorithms. The same algorithms are evaluated based on synthetic 3D phantom data and real X-ray images.In experiments with both synthetic and real projection data, we successfully reconstruct up to four times higher-resolution images. These images reveal structures and details which are not perceivable in the low-resolution images.The advantage of super-resolution techniques for X-ray is the potential reduction of radiation dose for patients and medical personnel. Potential medical applications include the diagnosis of early-stage osteoporosis and the detection of very small calcifications. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
