Abstract

The present disclosure directs to a system and method for CT imaging. The method may include acquiring computed tomography (CT) data, wherein the CT data is generated by scanning a subject using a CT scanner, the CT scanner including a focal spot and a detector, and the detector including a plurality of detector units. The method may also include obtaining a forward projection model and a back projection model, wherein the forward projection model and the back projection model are associated with sizes of the detector units and a size of the focal spot of the CT scanner. The method may further include reconstructing a CT image of the subject iteratively based on the CT data, the forward projection model, and the back projection model.
