Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computed Tomography
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is crucial for 3D imaging.
  • Filtered backprojection is a common CBCT reconstruction algorithm.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the point spread function (PSF) in the filtering step of backprojection cone-beam CT.
  • To extend the PSF derivation to cases with limited angular range of Radon line integrals.
  • To analyze the implications of the PSF for long object imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical derivation of the PSF for filtered backprojection in CBCT.
  • Extension of the PSF derivation to general cases with limited angular data.
