Interpolation based Low Dose CT Image Reconstruction

Abstract

Abstract Medical imaging has grown tremendously over years. The CT and MRI are used at most. MRI is less harmful, but one cannot underestimate the side effects of CT. Current study demonstrate the serious risk of cancer, due to repeated use of harmful X-rays. Consequently the plan of low dose imaging protocol is emerging as vital solution in the present scenario. Low dose imaging is achieved by sparse view scanning. The sparse-view x-ray computed tomography (CT) is appreciated in medical diagnosis and industrial non-destructive testing. However, when the sampling is insufficient due to sparse view, the reconstructed image usually suffers from complex artifacts and noise. In order to deal such issue, we present interpolation technique to fill the sinogram as promising method to address issues of low dose imaging. Reconstructed image quality parameters are recorded, and are compared to original image and the low dose image. The evidenced results convey substantial improved performance compared to conventional low does image.
