    摘要: A method, system, and computer program product for compensating for the unavailability of projection data of a scanned object at a selected point, the selected point located outside a detection range of a detector. The method include the steps of obtaining projection data of the scanned object, and compensating for the unavailability of the projection data at the selected point based on the obtained projection data and coordinates of the selected point relative to the detector. The compensating step includes determining at least one complementary projection angle and coordinates of at least one complementary point based on a source projection angle and the coordinates of the selected point relative to the detector, and estimating the projection data value at the selected point based on the acquired projection data, the at least one complementary projection angle, and the coordinates of the at least one complementary point.

    摘要: An X-ray CT scanning apparatus comprises an X-ray source for irradiating a beam of X-ray to an object to be examined, a detector provided with at least two rows of detector elements for detecting the X-ray beam to have a real data, and a couch driver for traveling in an axial direction of the body of the object a couch on which the object is placed, in which the X-ray beam being irradiated from the X-ray source which is being rotated and simultaneously, the couch being traveled with the couch driver, the object is scanned in a helical direction so that the real data sampled by the detector is not identical in the sweep pattern to its opposite data. Two data located on both sides of the target slicing location may be selected from groups of the real data and their opposite data sampled by the detector and used to interpolate a data at the target slicing location. The group of the real data and their opposite data sampled by the detector may be filtered in the direction of slices to produce a desired data at the target slicing location. Also, a combination of the above three methods can be implemented.

    摘要: An X-ray CT system is equipped with a gantry, couch and control cabinet and configured to scan a cone-beam X-ray toward an object along a given orbit to acquire cone-beam data in which a three-dimensional distribution of an X-ray absorption coefficient within the object is reflected. The control cabinet decides a degree of reliability for the cone-beam data according to an acquisition time of the cone-beam data, and then decides a weight for three-dimensional Radon data from the cone-beam data on the basis of the degree of reliability. Using this weight, the control cabinet reconstructs the three-dimensional Radon data based on a three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm. Thus, when the three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm for cone-beam CT is applied to medical CT, artifacts attributable to object's motion can be suppressed and temporal resolution can be improved.
