Title:
EFFICIENT CIRCLE AND LINE CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/107598
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Methods, systems and processes for providing efficient, accurate and exact image reconstruction using portable and easy to use C-arm scanning devices and rotating gantries, and the like. The invention can provide exact convolution-based filtered back projection (FBP) image reconstruction by combining a curved scan of the object and a line scan of the object. The curved scan can be done before or after the line scan. The curved scan can be less than or greater than a full circle about an object being scanned.
