Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The gantry-tilted helical cone-beam computed tomography (CT) has an inherent problem that the relative shift of the region of interest (ROI) blurs the reconstructed image. This problem becomes more serious in the gantry-tilted local CT imaging due to the nature of local scanning. This paper proposes a new method to improve the gantry-tilted local imaging by correcting the local scanning data. Computer simulations show that the proposed method can enhance the local imaging performance to a certain extent in terms of the image sharpening and artifacts reduction.
