Scaling Calibration in the ATRACT Algorithm

چکیده
Recently, a reconstruction algorithm for region of interest (ROI) imaging in C-arm CT was published, named Approximated Truncation Robust Algorithm for Computed Tomography (ATRACT). Even in presence of severe data truncation, it is able to reconstruct images without the use of any explicit extrapolation or prior knowledge. However, this method suffers from a scaling artifact in the reconstruction. In this paper, we have investigated a calibration applied in the projection domain to compensate this scaling problem. The proposed correction method is evaluated by using six clinical datasets in presence of different artificial truncation. The results show that a relative root mean square error (rRMSE) of up to 0.9% is achieved by the corrected ATRACT method.

Truncation Correction using a 3D Filter for Cone-beam CT
Recently, a novel method for region of interest (ROI) reconstruction from truncated projections with neither the use of prior knowledge nor explicit extrapolation has been published, named Approximated Truncation Robust Algorithm for Computed Tomography (ATRACT). It was derived by analytically reformulating the standard Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) algorithm into a reconstruction scheme that is b...

متن کاملDiode calibration for dose determination in total body irradiation
Background: Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is different from standard radiotherapy in many aspects, so it is not easy to predict the delivered dose to the patient under TBI treatment. Diode dosimetry procedures for surface dose reading can help to define variations of the actually delivered dose from the prescribed one. The aim of this study was to describe the measurements made to calib...
