Abstract
The most accurate image reconstruction schemes are based on the equation of radiative transfer (ERT). The accuracy comes at the price of long computation times. Besides a general overview on how to implement ERT-based reconstruction algorithms, we focus on various method that accelerated the image reconstruction process. PDE-constrained algorithms, SPN methods, parametric reconstruction techniques, multi-spectral inverse schems, as well as domain-decomposition and parallel-programming approaches will be discussed. Practical examples encountered in clinical and preclinical imaging such as monitoring of tumor growth and regression as well as arthritic disease progression will be presented.
