Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) plays an important role in the field of modern medical imaging. Reducing radiation exposure dose without significantly decreasing image’s quality is always a crucial issue. Inspired by the outstanding performance of total variation (TV) technique in CT image reconstruction, a TV regularization based Bayesian-MAP (MAP-TV) is proposed to reconstruct the case of sparse view projection and limited angle range imaging. This method can suppress the streak artifacts and geometrical deformation while preserving image edges. We use ordered subset (OS) technique to accelerate the reconstruction speed. Numerical results showed that MAP-TV is able to reconstruct a phantom with better visual performance and quantitative evaluation than classical FBP, MLEM and quadrate prior MAP algorithms. The proposed algorithm can be generalized to conebeam CT image reconstruction.
