    摘要: A third generation CT scanner includes a rotating x-ray source (18) and a detector array (16). Each sampling of the detector array generates a source fan data line of data values that are converted (34) to attenuation values in a logarithmic domain and subject to preliminary corrections (36). Attenuation values from a plurality of adjoining source fans are converted (94) back to a non-logarithmic domain as intensity values. A corresponding deconvolution function (88) from a deconvolution function look-up table (90) corresponding to the detector whose intensity value is being corrected is deconvolved with a line (84) of the intensity values which spans a plurality of adjoining source fan data lines to remove the intensity attributable to off-focal radiation (30). The intensity data is converted (102) back into attenuation values in the logarithmic domain and reconstructed (106) into an image representation for display on a monitor (112).

    摘要: A computed tomography system (100) includes an x-ray source (112) that rotates about an examination region (108) and translates along a longitudinal axis (120). The x-ray source (112) remains at a first location on the longitudinal axis (120) while rotating about the examination region (108), accelerates to a scanning speed and performs a fly-by scan of a region of interest (220) in which at least one hundred and eighty degrees plus a fan angle of data is acquired. At least one detector (124) detects x-rays radiated by the x-ray source (112) that traverses the examination region (108) and generates signals indicative thereof. A reconstructor (132) reconstructs the signals to generate volumetric image data.
