High pitch reconstruction of multislice CT scans

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention is a method for generating an image of an object using a multislice computed tomography imaging system. The method includes steps of: helically scanning an object with a multislice computed tomography imaging system to acquire projection data; determining a set of conjugate samples of the projection data that formulate a set of parallel projections; and reconstructing a set of images of the object using the conjugate samples. By determining a set of conjugate samples that formulate a set of parallel projections, embodiments of the present invention make possible reconstruction of images from projection data scanned at 8:1 pitch or higher.
