Abstract
For the problem of image quality degradation in cone-beam CT (CBCT) based on flat panel detector (FPD), a genetic algorithm based on pre-segmentation (PS-GA) is proposed for CBCT projected image restoration. According to the characteristic of that most of the area of the projected image is empty and without the tested object, a robust segmentation algorithm is used in this method to segment the smallest rectangle that contains the tested object, and the calculating range is limited to the smallest rectangle by the specially designed genetic algorithm, which significantly reduced the amount of calculated data. The experimental results show that the method raised the edge sharpness, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and average gradient (AG) of the projected images and slice images, and there is no visible artifacts introduced.
