Fast Feldkamp algorithm for cone-beam computer tomography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a new fast Feldkamp algorithm for 3-D cone beam tomography with a circular source trajectory. The algorithm is an extension of our recent fast native 2-D fan-beam reconstruction algorithm. It is based on a recursive hierarchical decomposition of the cone-beam backprojection operation into successively smaller sub-volumes. The algorithm reduces the computational complexity of the reconstruction from O(N) to O(N logN). Simulations demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm, with 7-fold speedup for a 128 × 128 × 128 image. image. Speedups will be much greater for images of more typical size encountered in medicine.

An error-reduction-based algorithm for cone-beam computed tomography.
Image reconstruction from cone-beam projections collected along a single circular source trajectory is commonly done using the Feldkamp algorithm, which performs well only with a small cone angle. In this report, we propose an error-reduction-based algorithm to increase the cone angle by several folds to achieve satisfactory image quality at the same radiation dose. In our scheme, we first reco...
متن کاملFeldkamp-type image reconstruction from equiangular data.
The cone-beam approach for image reconstruction attracts an increasing attention in various applications, especially medical imaging. Previously, the traditional practical cone-beam reconstruction method, the Feldkamp algorithm, was generalized into the case of spiral/helical scanning loci with equispatial cone-beam projection data. In this paper, we formulated the generalized Feldkamp algorith...

Cone-beam SPECT provides improved sensitivity for imaging small organs like the brain and heart. However, current cone-beam tomography with the focal point traversing a planar orbit does not acquire sufficient data to give an accurate reconstruction. In this paper, we employ a data-acquisition method which obtains complete data for cone-beam SPECT by simultaneously rotating the gamma camera and...
متن کاملNumerical studies on Feldkamp-type and Katsevich-type algorithms for cone-beam scanning along nonstandard spirals
In this paper, we perform numerical studies on Feldkamp-type and Katsevich-type algorithms for cone-beam reconstruction with a nonstandard spiral locus to develop an electron-beam micro-CT scanner. Numerical results are obtained using both the approximate and exact algorithms in terms of image quality. It is observed that the two algorithms produce similar quality if the cone angle is not large...
