SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INCREMENTALLY RECONSTRUCTING OVERLAPPED IMAGES IN A CT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTING A HELICAL SCAN

摘要

The present invention, in one form, is a system for producing incremental tomographic images of an object from projection data acquired in a helical scan. The system creates base image data arrays from the projection data. An interpolation algorithm is then applied to the base image data arrays to generate overlapped, or incremental, tomographic images.
