X-RAY CT IMAGE FORMING METHOD AND X-RAY CT APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

In order to provide a CT image forming method that can reduce an artifact caused by an image reconstructing method, and an X-ray CT apparatus using the same, an X-ray CT image forming method according to the invention is characterized in that an artifact component caused by the image reconstructing method of the projection data is obtained by calculation; the determined artifact component is subtracted from the projection data to create corrected projection data containing an inverted artifact component, and image reconstruction is executed on the corrected projection data to obtain a reconstructed image from which the artifact is reduced. The inverted artifact component is obtained as differential between the projection data and re-projection data obtained by inversely projecting a reconstructed image which is obtained by reconstructing the projection data concerned.
