View interpolation in a tomography system using pipe line processing

摘要

A computerized tomography apparatus comprises a source rotating about an object for directing fan-shaped beams of radiation towards the object, a detector for detecting the fan-shaped beams of radiation through the object and producing projection data representative of radiation intensity integrated along the beams at successive different views, and estimating circuitry for providing interpolated projection data between adjacent views in addition to projection data from the detector by using a pipeline process to increase the number of projection data.
