  • Systems and methods for parallel processing of imaging information
    Patent number: 9721361
    Abstract: A method for iteratively reconstructing an image is provided. The method includes acquiring, with a detector, computed tomography (CT) imaging information. The method also includes generating, with at least one processor, sinogram information from the CT imaging information. Further, the method includes generating, with the at least one processor, image domain information from the CT imaging information. Also, the method includes updating the image using the sinogram information. The method further includes updating the image using the image domain information. Updating the image using the sinogram information and updating the image using the image domain information are performed separately and alternately in an iterative fashion.
