چکیده

Based on the fan-beam reconstruction formula recently developed by Noo et al. [Phys. Med. Biol. 47, 2525-2546 (2002)] we develop a Feldkamp-type algorithm for the reconstruction of a volume of interest (VOI) from super-short-scan data. With either a circular or spiral scanning locus in our VOI reconstruction scheme, we first estimate fan-beam data from cone-beam data using the popular "cosine correction" scheme, and perform reconstruction based on Noo's FBP-type fan-beam reconstruction. Our proposed algorithm is tested using the three-dimensional (3-D) Shepp-Logan phantom. The experimental results show that the new algorithm can be applied to multi-source 4-D CT with significantly superior temporal resolution and temporal consistency relative to the Katsevich algorithm, which is the state of the art for exact helical cone-beam reconstruction.

Exact and approximate algorithms for helical cone-beam CT.

This paper concerns image reconstruction for helical x-ray transmission tomography (CT) with multi-row detectors. We introduce two approximate cone-beam (CB) filtered-backprojection (FBP) algorithms of the Feldkamp type, obtained by extending to three dimensions (3D) two recently proposed exact FBP algorithms for 2D fan-beam reconstruction. The new algorithms are similar to the standard Feldkam...

A Cone-beam Reconstruction Algorithm for Dose-minimized Short Scan and Super Short Scan

Recently, we proposed an approach that deploys dynamic collimation to shield unnecessary redundant data in circular cone-beam data acquisition, enabling a dose-minimized short scan and super short scan. In this paper, we suggest a new reconstruction algorithm that produces images from these acquisitions that are superior to those restored by traditional short scan FDK-type algorithms. The metho...

A Grangeat-type half-scan algorithm for cone-beam CT.

Modern CT and micro-CT scanners are rapidly moving from fan-beam toward cone-beam geometry. Half-scan CT algorithms are advantageous in terms of temporal resolution, and widely used in fan-beam and cone-beam geometry. While existing half-scan algorithms for cone-beam CT are in the Feldkamp framework, in this paper we compensate missing data explicitly in the Grangeat framework, and formulate a ...

Half-scan cone-beam CT fluoroscopy with multiple x-ray sources.

To develop volumetric micro-CT fluoroscopy for small animal imaging, we have proposed a cone-beam system with multiple x-ray sources. In this paper, we extend Parker's single-source half-scan weighting scheme to the case of an odd number of x-ray sources that are equiangularly distributed, and apply it for half-scan Feldkamp-type reconstruction in this unique geometry. In the numerical simulati...

Feldkamp-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...
