X-ray CT image formation refers to the data processing chain, that starts from a patient entering the CT scanner, going through the data acquisition and image reconstruction process, and ends with the presentation and interpretation of a CT image that would provide the answer both doctors and the patient are looking for, e.g., the cause of a discomfort.

Our research involves developing and improving different components in the CT image formation process, including data acquisition, image reconstruction, and image interpretation to improve diagnosis and patient care. Some recent and on-going projects are listed below.
