    Pre- and post-reconstruction digital image processing solutions for computed tomography with spectral photon counting detectors

    No full text
    Due to several issues still affecting pixelated photon-counting detector technology, such as e.g. inhomogeneities in the energy threshold calibration, polarization effects of high-Z semiconductor sensors and limitations of the hardware solutions aimed at compensating for the charge sharing issue, several artifacts corrupt the reconstructed images when adopting these detectors for computed tomography (CT). This article presents and discusses the most recurrent artifacts occurring in the raw images acquired with the innovative CdTe Pixirad-1/Pixie-III detector. By considering an experimental CT dataset of a suitable test object, digital image processing solutions for spectral CT imaging are here suggested and optimized. The proposed solutions consist of a pre-reconstruction despeckle filtering of each acquired projection and a post-reconstruction ring artifacts removal. The effects of these filters are quantitatively analyzed in terms of spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, the suitability of the optimized image processing procedure is validated with two practical CT applications in which a plastinated small animal specimen is considered

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Multi-material spectral photon-counting micro-CT with minimum residual decomposition and self-supervised deep denoising

    Spectral micro-CT imaging with direct-detection energy discriminating photon counting detectors having small pixel size (< 100×100 μm2) is mainly hampered by: i) the limited energy resolution of the imaging device due to charge sharing effects and ii) the unavoidable noise amplification in the images resulting from basis material decomposition. In this work, we present a cone-beam micro-CT setup that includes a CdTe photon counting detector implementing a charge summing hardware solution to correct for the charge-sharing issue and an innovative image processing pipeline based on accurate modeling of the spectral response of the imaging system, an improved basis material decomposition (BMD) algorithm named minimum-residual BMD (MR-BMD), and self-supervised deep convolutional denoising. Experimental tomographic projections having a pixel size of 45×45 μm2 of a plastinated mouse sample including I, Ba, and Gd small cuvettes were acquired. Results demonstrate the capability of the combined hardware and software tools to sharply discriminate even between materials having their K-Edge separated by a few keV, such as e.g., I and Ba. By evaluating the quality of the reconstructed decomposed images (water, bone, I, Ba, and Gd), the quantitative performances of the spectral system are here assessed and discusse

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods
