| Abstract: | Since the coded aperture technique has been successfully applied on X-ray imaging space telescopes, attentions of its development have also been cast on the application in medical imaging, for it has a very tempting quality to greatly enhance the detection sensitivity without gravely lowering the spacial resolution. But when the coded aperture technique is applied to image a nearby object, the so called "near-field artifact"comes up, that is, the reconstructed image has a sort of distortion. Among types of coded apertures the MURA (Modified Uniformly Redundant Array) is one of the most discussed. Roberto Arrcosi came up with the solution to remove the artifacts utilizing mask and antimask. In this article we present two ways to eliminate the second order aberration based on his work. |
