    Abstract: The CT imaging system optimizes its image generation by adaptively changing parameters in an iterative reconstruction algorithm based upon certain information such as statistical information. The coefficients for the parameters include at least a first coefficient for a predetermined data fidelity process and a second coefficient for a predetermined regularization process in an iterative reconstruction algorithm. The iterative reconstruction algorithm includes the ordered subsets simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (OSSART) and the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART). The first coefficient and the second coefficient are independently determined using some predetermined statistical information such as noise and or error in matching the real data.

    Abstract: In the CT imaging system, a one-direction condition improves noise uniformity in the denoised images and avoids over smoothing in the low noise regions in an image, assuming that the image originally has an unequal noise distribution. On the other hand, the discrete gradients of total variation (DTV) minimization results in an improved edge preserving effects in comparison to the conventional total variation (TV) minimization. Using DTV, the pixel values on an edge will not be substantially affected after a certain denoising treatment. The difference between the DTV minimization and the conventional TV minimization is substantially negligible for strong edges while the DTV minimization substantially improves in preserving the weak edges. DTV keeps the original values while TV slightly smoothes the values for the pixel near the bottom and top of edges.

    Abstract: Spatial resolution is substantially improved by simulating a system blur kernel including an angle variable in the forward projection during a predetermined iterative reconstruction technique. The iterative reconstruction acts as a deconvolution, which overcomes certain restrictions of system optics. In general, resolution is substantially improved with cone beam and helical data without a large increase in noise.

    Abstract: The CT imaging system optimizes its image generation by frequently updating an image and adaptively minimizing the total variation in an iterative reconstruction algorithm using many or sparse views under both normal and interior reconstructions. The projection data is grouped into N subsets, and after each of the N subsets is processed by the ordered subsets simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (OSSART), the image volume is updated. During the OSSART, no coefficients is cached in the system matrix. This approach is intrinsically parallel and can be implemented with a GPU card. Due to the more frequent image update and the variable step value, an image quality has improved.
