Image Reconstruction Based on TV Minimization and OS-EM Method in Linear Scan CT

Article Preview

Abstract:

A straight-line trajectory computed tomography (CT) has been investigated in this paper and a high accuracy reconstruction algorithm based on TV minimization and OS-EM method has been put forward. This new algorithm, which is called TV-OS-EM, takes the advantage of both statistic iterative algorithm OS-EM and the total variation minimization technique, and has an efficient property of de-noising and restoration. The numerical experimental results show that the new method can achieve a remarkable improvement in image quality.
