Abstract: |
The FDK algorithm is the most popular cone beam algorithm in the medical and industrial imaging field. Due to data insufficiency
acquired from a circular trajectory, the images reconstructed by the FDK algorithm suffer from the intensity droping with
increasing cone angle. To overcome the drawback, a modified FDK algorithm is presented by convert the 1D ramp filtering direction
from along the horizontal lines to along the nutating lines based on the result of Turbell. Unlike Turbell's method, there
is no need for our algorithm to rebin the cone-beam data into 3D parallel-beam data before reconstructing. Moreover pre-weighting
of the projection data is corrected by compensating for the cone angle effect. In addition, another correction term derived
from the result of Hu is also induced into our algorithm. The simulation experiments demonstrate that the final algorithm
can suppress the intensity drop associated with the FDK algorithm.
