This study introduces the challenging middle problem in computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction. We proved unique solvability for specific conditions and developed a POCS algorithm for reconstructing images from limited data.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Image Reconstruction
  • Computed Tomography

Background:

  • Interior and exterior problems in computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction are well-established.
  • These existing CT reconstruction problems have yielded significant theoretical and practical advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To formulate and address the more challenging "middle problem" in CT image reconstruction.
  • To investigate the unique solvability of the middle problem under specific object constraints.
  • To develop and evaluate a novel algorithm for reconstructing CT images from limited middle-region data.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of the middle problem, where projection data are acquired only through a central annular region.
  • Mathematical proof of unique solvability for radially symmetric objects with a piecewise constant or known sub-region within the middle zone.
