Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for performing image reconstruction using data obtained by an N beam helical scan, the method including generating projection data arrays for each of the N row in a CT detector, weighting the data arrays using a unique weighting function that is applicable to detectors having many different numbers of rows N to generate helical weighted arrays for each row, weighting the helical weighted arrays by applying a conjugate weighting function to generate conjugate arrays for each detector row and then combining the conjugate weighted arrays, filtering and back-projecting to generate a slice image.
