    More views are needed for better CT image quality with larger fan angles. Insufficient views lead to streak artifacts in fan beam CT reconstructions, impacting clinical scans.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Radiology
    • Computerized Tomography

    Background:

    • High-quality Computed Tomography (CT) reconstructions necessitate numerous views of the scanned object.
    • The number of views required is contingent upon the region's diameter and desired spatial resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the relationship between fan beam angles and the required number of views for CT reconstruction.
    • To investigate the impact of insufficient views on image quality and artifact formation in fan beam CT.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel analysis for fan beam CT reconstruction.
    • Utilized computer simulations with a fan beam reconstruction algorithm.
    • Performed experimental phantom scans on a clinical CT scanner.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that larger fan angles require a greater number of views for accurate CT reconstruction.
    • Computer simulations confirmed the predicted fan angle dependence.
    • Experimental results showed streak artifacts formation when insufficient views were acquired.

    Conclusions:

    • The number of views in fan beam CT is critically dependent on the fan angle.
    • Insufficient views lead to streak artifacts, compromising diagnostic accuracy in clinical CT scanning.
    • Findings have direct implications for optimizing CT scanning protocols.
