Abstract | X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT) as a molecular imaging modality can simultaneously identify the localization and quantify the concentration of high-atomic-number contrast agents such as gold nanoparticles (GNPs). Commonly used benchtop pencil-beam XFCT, consisting of a polychromatic x-ray source and a single-pixel spectrometer, suffers from long scanning time and high imaging dose. Sparse-view strategy benefits XFCT to reduce both scanning time and imaging dose. Nevertheless, its reconstruction undergoes ill-posedness induced by the compressive sampling. To preserve consistent imaging quality for sparse-view XFCT, we proposed an iterative Bayesian algorithm based on L1-norm constraint, wherein the L1-norm regularization is included in the one-step-late expectation maximization (OSL-EM) algorithm with regularization parameter determined based on L-curve criteria. The proposed algorithm was verified by imaging a 3-cm-diameter water phantom with 4 inserts containing GNP solutions with concentrations of 0.02, 0.04, 0.08, and 0.16 wt.%, on an in-house-developed dual-modality transmission CT and XFCT system. Different numbers (i.e. 36, 18, 9, and 6) of projection views were used for XFCT reconstruction, to evaluate the performance of various reconstruction algorithms. L1-regularized EM algorithm demonstrated the consistent robustness to suppress background artifacts and localize low-concentration GNPs (0.02 wt.%) with submillimeter accuracy, when the number of projection views reduces from 36 to 9. Moreover, our method's potential for small tumor spare-view XFCT imaging was validated on a mouse surgically implanted with a 6-mm GNP target. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
