Muhtasari	CT Iterative Reconstruction (IR) is a computational technique that reconstructs tomographic images from raw X-ray projection data by iteratively refining an estimate of tissue attenuation until it matches the measured projections. Developed from algebraic reconstruction techniques pioneered by Gordon in 1974, iterative reconstruction has revolutionized clinical CT by enabling high-quality images at reduced radiation dose. Variants such as Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR) and Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction (MBIR) are now standard on modern CT scanners.	Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that quantifies bone mineral density (BMD) by measuring the attenuation of X-rays at two different energies as they pass through bone and soft tissue. First developed by Wahner and colleagues in 1987, DEXA has become the gold standard for osteoporosis screening and fracture risk assessment. It is recommended by the World Health Organization for diagnosing osteoporosis and monitoring treatment response.	Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging technique that visualizes the microvasculature in the retina and choroid by detecting motion contrast from flowing blood. Developed by Jia and colleagues in 2012, OCTA uses repeated OCT scans of the same tissue location to identify blood flow based on the decorrelation signal. It has become a critical diagnostic tool in ophthalmology for detecting retinal and macular diseases without requiring fluorescein injection.	PET kinetic modeling is a quantitative analysis technique that tracks the temporal behavior of radioactive tracers in tissue to extract physiological parameters such as blood flow, metabolic rate, and receptor density. Established by Patlak, Logan, and Gunn in the 1980s and 1990s, kinetic modeling transforms raw PET time-activity curves into interpretable biological measures. It is widely used in neurology, oncology, and cardiology to assess disease severity, treatment response, and regional tissue function.
