Study Notes

Image Reconstruction in CT Scans

Image reconstruction at any z-axis position is possible using interpolation, a mathematical process.
Interpolation estimates values between known data points, while extrapolation estimates beyond known ranges.
Helical CT acquires data continuously, but the reconstruction plane lacks sufficient data for direct reconstruction.
Interpolation algorithms, special computer programs, estimate missing data.
Interpolation creates new slices between existing slices to generate isotropic volume images (meaning equal resolution in all directions).
Helical CT scans use a helical trajectory for X-ray source movement, unlike conventional circular paths.
Conventional reconstruction methods cannot handle this helical data directly.
Before reconstruction, helical data are interpolated into planar sets, using weighted averages of data from neighboring projections at different angles..
Interpolation algorithms are essential for reconstructing axial images from helical data.
