Hybrid reconstruction for high pitch multi-slice helical cardiac imaging

摘要

In one aspect, the present invention is a method for scanning an object (22) with a multi-slice CT imaging system (10) having multiple detector (18) rows each having an isocenter. The method includes steps of helically scanning an object with the multi-slice CT imaging system to obtain data segments (50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64) including peripheral data segments (56, 58), combining data from a first peripheral data segment (56) with an opposite, second peripheral segment (58) to form a data set for reconstruction of an image slice; and reconstructing the combined data into image slices.
