| Abstract: | Cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) has been widely used in medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing,but the presence of scattered radiation will cause significant reduction of image quality.In this article,a robust scatter correction method for CBCT using an interlacing-slit plate(ISP) is carried out for convenient practice.Firstly,a Gaussian filtering method is proposed to compensate the missing data of the inner scatter image,and simultaneously avoid too-large values of calculated inner scatter and smooth the inner scatter field.Secondly,an interlacing-slit scan without detector gain correction is carried out to enhance the practicality and convenience of the scatter correction method.Finally,a denoising step for scatter-corrected projection images is added in the process flow to control the noise amplification The experimental results show that the improved method can not only make the scatter correction more robust and convenient,but also achieve a good quality of scatter-corrected slice images. |
