Optimal short scan convolution reconstruction for fan beam CT

Parker, Dennis L.·1982·Medical Physics

Abstract

The problem of using a divergent fan beam convolution reconstruction algorithm in conjunction with a minimal complete (180° plus the fan angle) data set is reviewed. It is shown that by proper weighting of the initial data set, image quality essentially equivalent to the quality of reconstructions from 360° data sets is obtained. The constraints on the weights are that the sum of the two weights corresponding to the same line‐integral must equal one, in regions of no data the weights must equal zero, and the weights themselves as well as the gradient of the weights must be continuous over the full 360°. After weighting the initial data with weights that satisfy these constraints, image reconstruction can be conveniently achieved by using the standard (hardwired if available) convolver and backprojector of the specific scanner.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
