  • Method and image reconstruction device for reconstructing image data
    Patent number: 7940884
    Abstract: A method and an image reconstruction device are disclosed for reconstructing image data on the basis of input projection data obtained via an X-ray computerized tomography system. A target convolutional kernel is selected, which, when reconstructing image data from the input projection data using simple filtered back projection, would lead to target image characteristics. Image data is then reconstructed using an iterative reconstruction method of at least one embodiment.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: May 10, 2011
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Herbert Bruder, Thomas Flohr, Rainer Raupach, Karl Stierstorfer, John Sunnegårdh
