Title:
SYSTEM, METHOD, AND PROGRAM FOR TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING, AND RECORDING MEDIUM IN WHICH PROGRAM IS RECORDED
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/158575
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
To provide a system, method, and program whereby a reconstructed image supported by an algebraically exact solution of an inverse discrete Radon transform can be generated by a small computational resource, and a recording medium in which the program is recorded. A method executed by a computer that determines an operating parameter for a tomographic imaging system for reconstructing a tomographic image by inverse discrete Radon transformation in a scan angle range of less than (180° - 180°/number of projections), wherein the method includes: a step for determining a system matrix on the basis of the value of a one or two operating parameters designated from among a number of detection elements, a number of projections, and a scan angle range less than (180° - 180°/number of projections); a step for generating a square system matrix from the determined system matrix; a step for deciding whether an inverse matrix exists for the square system matrix; and a step for repeating said steps as necessary to determine the value of an operating parameter that corresponds to an operating parameter other than the designated one or two operating parameters, for which the inverse matrix of the square system matrix exists.
