Electron micrography (EM) is a detection method for determining the structure of macromolecular complexes and biological specimens. However, some restrictions in the EM system, including poor signal-to-noise, limited range of tilt angles, only a sub-region subject to electron exposure and unintentional movements of the specimen, make the reconstruction procedure severely ill-posed. Because of these limitations, there may be severe artifacts in reconstructed images. In this paper, we first design an algorithm that can quickly calculate the radiological paths. Then we combine an iterative reconstruction algorithm using the Mumford-Shah model with an artifact reduction strategy. The combined method can not only regularize the ill-posedness and provide the reconstruction and segmentation simultaneously but also smooth additional artifacts due to the limited data. Also we improved the algorithm used for the calculation of radiological paths to accelerate the reconstruction. The proposed algorithm was translated into OpenCL programs and kernel functions to asynchronously and in parallel update the reconstructed image along rays by GPUs. We tested the method on both simulated and real EM data. The results show that our artifact reduced Mumford-Shah algorithm can reduce the noise and artifacts while preserving and enhancing the edges in the reconstructed image.

Figure 1.  Illustration of the calculation of 2d radiological paths. The variable $\varphi$ is the angle of inclination and $(ia, ib)$ is the index of the pixel. The variable $L$ is the intersection length of a ray with two vertical gridlines and $w$ is the proportion between intersection length of current pixel and $L$. The current pixel intercepted by the ray is $(ia, ib)$. $w>1$ in Algorithm. 1 corresponds to the left figure where the next pixel intercepted by the ray is $(ia, ib+1)$ and $w <1$ corresponds to the right figure where the next pixel is $(ia, ib+1)$. The proportion $w$ is calculated alternatively in Algorithm. 1 including only a few addition or subtraction operations and $w$ is used to decide whether the next pixel intercepted by the ray corresponds to the case in the left figure or the right figure

Figure 2.  Illustration of the calculation of 3d radiological paths. $w_{x}$ and $w_{y}$ are the proportion of the projected ray in $zx-plane$ and $zy-plane$ respectively. $w_{x}$ and $w_{y}$ are calculated by algorithm. 1. $L'$ is the constant length of the ray between the plane $iz = ic$ and $iz = ic+1$. The current voxel intercepted by the ray is $(ia, ib, ic)$. $w_{x} <w_{y}$ in Algorithm. 2 corresponds to case that the next two voxels intercepted by the ray are $(ia+1, ib, ic)$ and $(ia+1, ib+1, ic)$. $w_{x}\geq w_{y}$ corresponds to case that the next two voxels are $(ia, ib+1, ic)$ and $(ia+1, ib+1, ic)$. $w_{x}$ and $w_{y}$ are used to decide which voxels are intercepted by the ray after the current voxel $(ia, ib, ic)$

Figure 3.  Reconstructions of 3D Shepp-Logan phantom using the alternating minimization scheme described in Algorithm 3 and artifact reduction strategy in Sec. 2.3. The size of Shepp-Logan phantom is $300\times 300\times 300$ and two slices are shown in (a)~(e). (a)(b) are slices of original phantom. (a) corresponds to the red line in (b) and (b) to the red line in (a). Euler angles are used to generate projections: rotation $\phi$ changes between $-60^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ at $1^{\circ}$ intervals for each measurement, azimuthal angle $\theta$ is fixed at $0^{\circ}$ and in-plane rotation $\psi$ at $165^{\circ}$. (c)+(d) and (e)+(f) show the reconstruction image and segmentations without the artifact reduction strategy and (g)+(h) and (i)+(j), with a cutoff $\kappa_{\sigma}$ in the operator $\mathcal{K}_{\sigma}$ defined in (14). We chose the parameter $\sigma = \Phi /4$. While streak artifacts near $\pm 60^{\circ}$ in (c)+(d) and streak artifacts in (e)+(f) can be observed, the implementation of the artifact reduction strategy smooths some artifacts in (g)+(h) and (i)+(j)

Figure 4.  Reconstructions and segmentations of the Shepp-Logan phantom $f^{\dagger}$ from noisy Radon data. Left column: reconstruction $f^{MS}$ from noisy data $\mathcal{R}f^{\dagger} + \delta N(0, 1)$ using the artifact reduced Mumford-Shah algorithm ($\alpha = 2, \beta = 0.0002, \varepsilon = 0.0001 $); middle column: The reconstructed edge indicator function $v$; right column: reconstructions from same noisy data using WBP method in TOM software toolbox. For stronger noise it is more difficult to reconstruct the low contrast regions for both methods. From the comparison between the left and right column, we can see that our reconstruction method with Mumford -Shah functional can depress the noise compared to WBP method while the edges are preserved. If an edge is detected in $v$, the reconstruction $f^{MS}$ has a sharp edge

The images in the red block are zoomed in and put in the top right corner. The edges in the middle column are enhanced in the left column compared to the WBP reconstructions in the right column.
