摘要:
A method for the reduction of motion artifacts in a helical CT reconstruction, the method including the steps of: (a) reconstructing from the raw CT data an initial estimate of the 3D attenuation distribution of the object of interest; (b) estimating a pose parameter set of the object for each projection angle; (c) undertaking a motion corrected reconstruction from the measured projections, accounting for the pose changes estimated in (b); (d) iterating steps (b)-(c) until some convergence criterion is met; and (e) making a final reconstruction of diagnostic quality using the pose estimates obtained in the previous steps.
