Problems solved by technology

[0021] Although the research on CT iterative reconstruction projection matrix characterization model has achieved the above results, as the advantages of iterative reconstruction in low-dose, low signal-to-noise ratio, and incomplete data imaging and other application fields are further exerted, the reconstruction quality and model characterization accuracy Higher and higher requirements are also put forward. The current models are all models constructed based on geometric relationships or interpolation models. The description of the factors affecting the projection matrix is ​​relatively simple, which is easy to cause artifacts

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cone-beam CT iterative reconstruction algorithm, in particular to a method for constructing a projection matrix of the cone-beam CT iterative reconstruction algorithm. Background technique [0002] With the wide application of computerized tomography (CT) in medical, industrial and security fields, the research on CT reconstruction algorithm has become one of the hot issues. CT reconstruction algorithms can be divided into two types in mathematics: Analytic Reconstruction (AR) and Iterative Reconstruction (IR). The advantage of the iterative reconstruction algorithm over the analytical reconstruction algorithm is that it can obtain better imaging quality under the condition of missing data or low signal-to-noise ratio. practical significance. The projection matrix of the iterative reconstruction algorithm is directly related to the known projection image and the reconstructed image to be obtained, and its characterization a...
