Abstract

Nano-CT has been considered as an important technique applied in analyzing inter-structures of nanomaterials and biological cell. However, maximum rotation angle of the sample stage is limited by sample space; meanwhile, the scan time is exorbitantly large to get enough projections in some cases. Therefore, it is difficult to acquire nano-CT images with high quality by using conventional Fourier reconstruction methods based on limited-angle or few-view projections. In this paper, we utilized the total variation (TV) iterative reconstruction to carry out numerical image and nano-CT image reconstruction with limited-angle and few-view data. The results indicated that better quality images had been achieved.
