Description
Summary:There is a requirement for the development of CT to scan rapidly large longitudinal volume with high z-axis resolution. The combination of spiral scanning with multi-slice CT is a promising approach. The algorithm of image reconstruction for multi-slice spiral CT becomes, therefore, the main challenge. All algorithms known to the authors either need to derive the complementary data or work only for certain range of pitch values. This paper presents a novel reconstruction algorithm that can omit the derivations of the complementary data and work for arbitrary pitch values. The filter interpolation based on the proposed method is also easy to be implemented. The method is, thus, versatile. The results of computer simulations show that we can choose a combination of scan and filter parameters to meet the purpose of the examination
