    This study introduces preprocessing methods for incomplete computed tomography (CT) scan data. These techniques enable image reconstruction from truncated or hollow projections, improving CT imaging efficiency and safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology
    • Image Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Conventional computed tomography (CT) scans produce uniform resolution images but may involve high radiation doses.
    • Restricting scans to specific areas can reduce radiation but results in incomplete data (truncated projections).
    • Metallic objects or internal structures can also obstruct data acquisition, leading to hollow projections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop preprocessing procedures for handling incomplete projection data in CT imaging.
    • To enable accurate image reconstruction from truncated and hollow projections.
    • To improve the efficiency and safety of CT scans by reducing radiation dose and handling data artifacts.

    Main Methods:

    • The study presents novel preprocessing techniques for incomplete projection data.

  • These methods are designed to be compatible with the standard convolution/back projection (CBP) image reconstruction algorithm.
  • The focus is on mathematical and algorithmic solutions for data gaps.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed preprocessing procedures effectively handle both truncated and hollow projections.
    • Images can be successfully reconstructed from incomplete datasets using the modified CBP method.
    • The approach allows for targeted scanning, potentially reducing overall radiation exposure.

    Conclusions:

    • Preprocessing incomplete CT projections is feasible and effective.
    • This methodology enhances the utility of CT imaging for specific lesion investigations.
    • The findings pave the way for more adaptable and dose-efficient CT protocols.
