Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The merit of CT imaging quality not only depends on the precision and advance of the instrument, but also depends on the reconstruction algorithm. Developing from the two dimensional fan bunch scan to the three-dimensional cone bunch scan is the development trend of CT technology. Therefore, looking for a suitable cone bunch reconstruction algorithm has a great significance.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the cone projection image synthesis based on C-arm super short scan path in order to provide the algorithm support for the realization of C-arm based two-dimensional projection image and three-dimensional model rebuilding.
METHODS: The PubMed database, CNKI database and Wanfang database were searched by the first author from March 2012 to May 2012 for the related articles published from 1990 to 2011. The key words were “C-arm, super short scan path, FDK algorithm, limited cone angle of three-dimensional reconstruction, super short scanning fan bunch of reconstruction algorithm”, the language of the retrieved articles were Chinese and English. A total of 58 articles were obtained after initial screen, and finally 19 articles that met the inclusion criteria were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The three-dimensional model reconstruction based on C-arm two-dimensional projection image must be treated with three-dimensional model reconstruction. Currently, the most widely used three-dimensional image reconstruction method was FDK algorithm. However, the FDK algorithm only suitable for the whole pathway, and cannot directly used for super short scan path. The short scanning trajectory FDK cone bunch reconstruction algorithm obtained through extending the two-dimensional fan bunch reconstruction algorithm to the three-dimensional space could reconstruct the interest region of the collected cone bunch projection data. Future studies may explore the effect of noise reducing and other interference data on the reconstruction quality.
