Paper Abstract
We developed a novel algorithm for image reconstruction from fan-beam data acquired with asymmetric flat-panel detectors. This new algorithm can improve the noise properties of the widely used fan-beam filtered-backprojection (FFBP) algorithm by eliminating the spatially-variant weighting factor while retaining FFBP's favorable resolution properties. Quantitative results verify the theoretical prediction of the improved noise properties. These improved noise properties can be translated into a reduction of radiation dose. The new algorithm is particularly robust and useful when applied to CT systems with large field of measurement (FOM) and/or relatively small focal lengths.
