    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention is a method for imaging an object with a computed tomographic (CT) imaging system that includes steps of helically scanning the object with a multi-slice CT imaging system to acquire attenuation measurements of the object, the measurements including more than two conjugate samples for estimation of a projection at a plane of reconstruction of the object; and filtering and backprojecting the attenuation measurements of the object, including the more than two conjugate samples, to reconstruct at least one image slice of the object. An improved sampling pattern and better use of the attenuation samples obtained during a scan is thus provided.

    摘要: A method for reconstructing an image of an object includes scanning an object using a computed tomographic (CT) imaging apparatus to acquire projections of the object. A set of thresholds are determined utilizing the projections, and selected smoothing kernels are associated with the thresholds. The method further includes utilizing the smoothing kernels and the projections to produce smoothed projections in accordance with the thresholds and filtering and backprojecting the smoothed projections to generate an image of the object.

    摘要: A multi-slice computed tomography imaging system is provided including a source that generates an x-ray beam and a detector array that receives the x-ray beam and generates projection data. A translatable table has an object thereon and is operable to translate in relation to the source and the detector array. The source and the detector array rotate about the translatable table to helically scan the object. An image reconstructor is electrically coupled to the detector array and reconstructs an image in response to the projection data using a computed tomography modeled iterative reconstruction technique. The iterative reconstruction technique includes determining a cross-section reconstruction vector, which approximately matches the projection data via a computed tomography model. Methods for performing the same are also provided including accounting for extended boundary regions.
