چکیده

In x-ray micro-CT applications, it is useful to increase the field of view by offsetting a two-dimensional (2D) detector array. In this technical note, we briefly review the methods for image reconstruction with an asymmetric 2D detector array, elaborate on the use of an associated weighting scheme in the case of helical/spiral cone-beam scanning, and perform a series of numerical tests to demonstrate helical cone-beam image reconstruction with such an arrangement.

X-ray micro-CT with a displaced detector array.

Because the sizes of samples differ in x-ray micro-CT applications, it is desirable to have a mechanism to change the field of view of a micro-CT scanner. A well-known way to double the diameter of the field of view is to displace a detector array by 50%. In this paper, we propose to displace a detector array by an amount of greater than 0% but less than 50% for a continuously adjustable field ...

Guest Editorial - Multirow Detector and Cone-Beam Spiral/Helical CT

S PIRAL/HELICAL multirow detector computed tomog-raphy (MDCT), also referred to as multislice spiral CT (MSCT), has attracted a major interest since its recent introduction [18], [33]. Compared with single-row-detector systems, MDCT scanners allow faster data collection and thinner slices that support more demanding clinical applications and present new research opportunities. This special issu...

High-resolution helical cone-beam micro-CT with theoretically-exact reconstruction from experimental data.

PURPOSE In this paper we show that optimization-based autofocus may be used to overcome the instabilities that have, until now, made high-resolution theoretically-exact tomographic reconstruction impractical. To our knowledge, this represents the first successful use of theoretically-exact reconstruction in helical micro computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging. We show that autofocus-corrected, ...

PI-line-based image reconstruction in helical cone-beam computed tomography with a variable pitch.

Current applications of helical cone-beam computed tomography (CT) involve primarily a constant pitch where the translating speed of the table and the rotation speed of the source-detector remain constant. However, situations do exist where it may be more desirable to use a helical scan with a variable translating speed of the table, leading a variable pitch. One of such applications could aris...

3D Image Reconstruction from Truncated Helical Cone Beam Projection Data - A Linear Prediction Approach

With the introduction of 2D flat-panel X-ray detectors, 3D image reconstruction using helical cone-beam tomography is fast replacing the conventional 2D reconstruction techniques. In 3D image reconstruction, the source orbit or scanning geometry should satisfy the data sufficiency or completeness condition for exact reconstruction. The helical scan geometry satisfies this condition and hence ca...
