Feasibility analysis on simultaneous electron density and attenuation coefficient reconstruction.
Article in Medical physics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeCreating a viable reconstruction method for Compton scatter tomography remains challenging. Accounting for scatter attenuation when the underlying attenuation map is not known is particularly challenging, and current mathematical approaches to this vary widely. This work explores a novel approach to joint scatter and attenuation image reconstruction, which leverages the underlying structural similarity between the two images and incorporates a deep learning model in an alternating iterative reconstruction scheme.
methodsA single-view computed tomography (CT) imaging procedure for recording Compton scatter is first described. A joint reconstruction model, which iterates between algebraically reconstructing scatter images and estimating the attenuation via deep learning, is then proposed. This model is tested on both a generated dataset of 2D phantom images designed to mimic human tissues as well as a realistically simulated dataset based on real CT images.
resultsTesting results yield convergence of the model and decent reconstruction quality to distinguish crucial features such as tumors and lesions, demonstrating the potential principled utilities of this configuration and deep learning approach. The model achieved a structural similarity index measure of at least 0.82 for scatter and 0.88 for attenuation reconstructions with the realistically simulated dataset.
conclusionThe iterative, deep learning approach outlined in this work shows potential for future efficient medical imaging procedures, reconstructing images with limited scatter information.
