Versatility of the CFR (Constrained Fourier Reconstruction) Algorithm for Limited Angle Reconstruction.

摘要

The Constrained Fourier Reconstruction (CFR) algorithm and the Iterative Reconstruction-Reprojection (IRR) algorithm are evaluated based on their accuracy for three types of limited angle reconstruction problems. The CFR algorithm performs better for problems such as Xray CT imaging of a nuclear reactor core with one large data gap due to structural blocking of the source and detector pair. For gated heart imaging by Xray CT, radioisotope distribution imaging by PET or SPECT, using a polygonal array of gamma cameras with insensitive gaps between camera boundaries, the IRR algorithm has a slight advantage over the CFR algorithm but the difference is not significant. 3 refs., 5 figs.
