Permissible Deviation of Rotation Center Based on Fan-Beam Projection ICT System

Abstract:

For ICT wide fan-beam scanning, there is a geometrical supposition that the object rotation center and the radiation source center intersect the image reconstruction center. In practice, the existing intersection deviation has influence on the image reconstruction precision. The image reconstruction mathematical model for shifted rotation center was established, and the relationship between the deviation error and reconstructed image precision was studied by simulation. As a result, for 512×512 CT reconstructed image, there is no distinctive difference between the reference image and the reconstructed image with eccentricity 0.1 pixels; however, with 0.2 pixels or more, the difference is obvious. So, for 512×512 CT image, the maximum permissible deviation of the rotation center is within 0.1 pixel dimension.
