Direct backprojection-filtration formula for region-of-interest imaging with few additional projections
Résumé
This paper provides a backprojection-filtration
method for image reconstruction in divergent circular fan-beam
and cone-beam geometries with flat detectors. It is based on a
splitting of the acquisition angular range into angular sectors
admitting filtering orientations in the image space where a
simple, mono-directional Fourier-based filtering is possible. The
new workflow is used for region-of-interest (ROI) reconstruction
from dual-rotation acquisitions, consisting of a truncated, densely
sampled acquisition and of a few additional non-truncated views.
Results show that the reconstructed images using our new
approach are similar to what FBP would achieve in the non-
truncated case, and demonstrate the feasibility of an accurate
direct reconstruction method for dual-rotation ROI imaging with
very few non-truncated views.
