Summary

This study introduces an adaptive detruncation (ADT) method to fix artifacts in CT scans caused by truncated data. The new technique reconstructs clearer images and extends imaging beyond the scanner's field of measurement.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction

Background:

  • Computed Tomography (CT) scanners can produce severe artifacts when the scanned object exceeds the field of measurement (FOM).
  • Image truncation in the transaxial direction is a common issue in medical CT imaging, leading to image artifacts and reduced diagnostic quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate an adaptive detruncation (ADT) method for reconstructing artifact-free images from truncated medical CT projections.
  • To enable image reconstruction beyond the scanner's original field of measurement (FOM).

Main Methods:

  • The adaptive detruncation (ADT) method extrapolates truncated projections by estimating the patient's convex hull.
  • Image reconstruction is performed using the extrapolated projection data.

Main Results:

  • The ADT method successfully reconstructs images free from artifacts within the FOM.
  • The proposed method extends the reconstructed images beyond the original FOM, offering extended imaging capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The adaptive detruncation (ADT) method provides a viable solution for reconstructing high-quality images from truncated CT data.
  • This technique is particularly beneficial for applications like PET/CT scanners, enhancing attenuation correction accuracy.
