[0080] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the structure of an X-ray CT (computerized tomography) apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] The X-ray CT apparatus 100 includes an operator console 1 , an imaging table 10 and a scanning frame 20 .

[0082] The operator console 1 comprises input means 2 for receiving input signals issued by the operator, central processing means 3 for implementing the back-projection process according to the invention, data for collecting projection data acquired at the scanning frame Acquisition buffer 5, cathode ray tube (CRT) 6 for displaying X-ray CT images reconstructed from projection data and storage means 7 for storing programs, data and X-ray CT images.

[0083] The imaging table assembly 10 includes a carriage 12 for placing thereon an object to be imaged and transporting the object into / out of the cavity (lumen portion) of the scanning frame 20 . Carriage 12 is driven by a motor connected to imaging ta...

[0172] While in the first and second embodiments, one axial projection data D1 is calculated by interpolation calculation from two projection data D0, in the third embodiment, it is calculated by interpolation calculation from three projection data D0 An axial projection data D1.

[0173] In this case, a look-up table 31' for axial projection as shown in FIG. 19 is used, and the axial projection data D1 is calculated according to the following equation:

[0174] D1 (view, pt) = k1 (pt) × D0 (view, ch (pt) + 2)

[0175] +k2(pt)×D0(view, ch(pt)+1)

[0176] +k3(pt)×D0(view, ch(pt)).

[0177] According to the X-ray CT apparatus of the third embodiment, back projection processing can be simplified and accelerated. Also, the accuracy has improved.

Abstract

For the purpose of providing a backprojection method and an X-ray CT apparatus by which backprojection processing can be simplified and sped up, instead of obtaining backprojection pixel data D2(x, y) directly from projection data D0(view, ch), axially projected data D1(view, pt) are obtained from projection data D0(view, ch) by projecting them onto a straight line, and then backprojection pixel data D2 are obtained from the axially projected data D1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a back projection method and an X-ray CT (Computerized Tomography) apparatus, and more particularly, to a back projection method and an X-ray CT apparatus capable of simplifying and speeding up back projection processing. Background technique [0002] Today's mainstream X-ray CT apparatus implements a filtered back-projection method technique that includes various processes including data collection, pre-processing, filtering, back-projection processing, and post-processing to reconstruct an image. [0003] Conventional back projection processing is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. H8-187241 and US Patent No. 5,414,622. [0004] In this back-projection process, projection data D0(view, ch) obtained from a fan-shaped ray beam denoted by an observation angle view and a detector channel ch undergoes a calculation to It is used to project the projection data D0(view, ch) onto the coord...
