Multibody kinematics optimization for motion reconstruction of the human upper extremity using potential field method by Iman Soodmand, Sven Herrmann, Eric Kleist, Annika Volpert, Hannes Wackerle, Peter Augat, Rainer Bader, Christoph Woernle, Maeruan Kebbach

“…The virtual spring-damper forces move the mechanical system to minimize the elastic potential and the distance between markers during the motion. Several evaluation strategies are performed which demonstrate that the potential field method is computationally fast (2.5ms per frame) with comparable accuracy to the well-established least squares method in terms of reconstructed marker trajectories and joint angles (RMSE < 0.37 mm, 1.87°) and with low marker residuals (< 18.7 ± 12.6 mm) in line with reported ranges. …”

Extending Three-Dimensional Weighted Cone Beam Filtered Backprojection (CB-FBP) Algorithm for Image Reconstruction in Volumetric CT at Low Helical Pitches by Xiangyang Tang, Jiang Hsieh, Roy A. Nilsen, Scott M. McOlash

“…By decomposing a helical over scan with an angular range of [0,2π+Δβ] into a union of full scans corresponding to an angular range of [0,2π], the extended 3D weighted function is a summation of all 3D weighting functions corresponding to each full scan. An experimental evaluation shows that the extended 3D weighted helical CB-FBP algorithm can improve noise characteristics or dose efficiency of the 3D weighted helical CB-FBP algorithm at a helical pitch smaller than 1:1, while its reconstruction accuracy and computational efficiency are maintained. …”
