Abstract: |
Artifacts caused by intensely absorbing
areas are encountered in computed tomography and may obscure or simulate
pathology in medical applications, hide or mimic the cracks and cavities in
the devices at industrial applications. We simulated sinograms
with different levels of absorption to demonstrate the artifacts dynamics. If
the analysis of the measured data shows the presence of strongly absorbing
areas in the object under study we propose to use quadratic programming
technique for solving the inverse problem. Although the technique is
time-consuming it allows us to avoid the typical artifacts. We compare the
images reconstructed with different techniques including the proposed one. |
