[Dual-source variable pitch spiral CT reconstruction algorithm].
Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a useful approach for diagnosing vascular diseases. In this paper, we proposed a reconstruction algorithm for dual-source spiral CT with variable pitch. The projection data are collected by the double-source double-multislice spiral CT (DSDMS-CT). However, the pitch of the DSDMS-CT is variable other than being constant. We have developed a new formula performing interpolation along Z-axis for dual-source spiral CT with variable pitch. The dual-source spiral CT with variable pitch can chase contrast bolus more flexibly and more effectively. The simulation results show the correctness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
