<p>In one aspect, the present invention is a method for filtering projection data of a computed tomographic scan of an object. The method includes steps of: acquiring projection data representing a tilted, helical scan of an object; zero padding the acquired projection data; determining a Fourier transform of the zero padded projection data; determining a product of the Fourier transform of the zero padded projection data, a ramp function, and a phase shift function; and determining an inverse Fourier transform of the multiplied, transformed projection data as filtered projection data. The above-described method provides filtered data that produces compensated tilted, helically scanned CT images having significantly better spatial resolution than those methods employing a high frequency kernel boost.</p> |
