Description

In this study, we developed the iterative optimized scatter correction algorithm, which incorporates scatter correction and statistical iterative reconstruction method for improvement of CBCT image quality. For scatter estimation, scatter measurement with beam blockers and scatter simulation based on Klein-Nishina formula were combined complementally. Statistical image reconstruction (Convex method) and scatter estimation were treated parallelly and incorporated into the iterative optimized scatter correction algorithm. The validation of our proposed method was performed by analysis of the attenuation coefficients of cylindrical water phantom.
