Lambda tomography (LT) reconstructs gradient images from local data. This study introduces a practical cone-beam LT algorithm for medical x-ray computed tomography using arbitrary 3D trajectories, demonstrating its effectiveness through simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Image reconstruction
  • Computed tomography

Background:

  • Lambda tomography (LT) is a promising technique for reconstructing gradient-like images using limited projection data.
  • Existing methods often require full data acquisition, limiting practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a practical cone-beam lambda tomography algorithm for reconstructing images from local data.
  • To enable LT reconstruction using data acquired along arbitrary 3D trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • Derived an exact fan-beam LT formula as a basis.
  • Developed a cone-beam LT algorithm utilizing local projection data.
  • Implemented the algorithm with an equispatial planar detector and a nonstandard spiral trajectory.
  • Determined a key perpendicular vector for accurate reconstruction.
