The present invention removes the effect from a cupping artifact due to X-ray beam hardening. The method for calibrating a dual-energy CT system is provided comprising steps of selecting at least two different materials, detecting penetrative rays from dual-energy rays penetrating said at least two different materials under different combinations of thickness to acquire projection values, and creating a lookup table in a form of correspondence between said different combinations of thickness and said projection values. The image reconstruction method is provided comprising steps of scanning an object with dual-energy rays to acquire dual-energy projection values, calculating projection values of base material coefficients corresponding to said dual-energy projection values based on a pre-created lookup table, and reconstructing an image of base material coefficient distribution based on said projection values of base material coefficients. In this way, images of atomic number and density of an object as well as its attenuation coefficient images can be calculated from the images of the distribution of base material coefficients. Compared with the prior art technique, the method proposed in the present invention has advantages of simple calibration procedure, high calculation precision and invulnerability to X-ray beam hardening.

    摘要: It is disclosed a system and a method for reconstructing an image by using a straight-line trajectory scan to avoid image spatial resolution reduction due to interpolations in angular direction and detector direction during data rebinning. This system comprises: a projection data conversion section for converting projection data from straight-line trajectory scan into projection data under quasi-parallel-beam scan; a filtration section for obtaining filtered projection data by convoluting the projection data under quasi-parallel-beam scan with a predetermined convolutional kernel; and a back-projection section for reconstructing an image by back-projecting the filtered projection data with a weighting factor. By using the inventive system and method, the spatial resolution in the reconstructed image is improved, and the influence of data truncation on the reconstructed image is reduced. The present invention applies the filtration and back-projection mode, and thus has general advantages of the filtration and back projection, such as simplicity and efficiency. And it is easy to be parallelized and accelerated.
