  • COMPUTER PROGRAM, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR HYBRID CT ATTENUATION CORRECTION
    Publication number: 20070075248
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer program, method, and system to facilitate hybrid CT attenuation correction. In one embodiment, the method generally includes acquiring data from a scanner, utilizing an ordered subset expectation maximization-bayesian algorithm to reconstruct the acquired data, and forward projecting the reconstructed data. Such a configuration minimizes the computing resources required for reconstruction and improves attenuation correction accuracy.
