Investigation on Pi-line Selecting Method Base on GPU Accelerated Back-projection Filtered VOI Reconstruction

摘要

Reconstruction algorithms based on Pi-line or Chord are active subject in CBCT. Among them back-projection filtered (BPF) reconstruction algorithm has obvious influence for its exact reconstruction results and less computations especially in selected volume of interesting (VOI) regions. However, the selecting and sampling method of Pi-line segment can directly affect the quality of reconstructed images. In this paper, we proposed a general Pi-line selecting scheme to reconstruct VOI regions by using BPF algorithm, which mainly based on the relationship between reconstructed coordinate and Pi-line coordinate. The proposed scheme is applicable for GPU accelerated back-projection filtered reconstruction.
