Abstract

A method and apparatus for CT image reconstruction may include selecting, by a unit, projection data of the same height on a curve having a curvature approximate to that of the scanning circular orbit, implementing, by a unit, a weighting processing on the selected projection data, filtering, by a unit, the weighting processed projection data along a horizontal direction, implementing, by a unit, three-dimensional back projection on the filtered projection data along the direction of ray. The method and apparatus can effectively eliminate cone beam artifact under a large cone angle.
