Abstract

Artifact removal algorithms are crucial for image quality in computed tomography. Many ring artifact removal algorithms have been proposed in conventional X-ray absorption computed tomography, but relatively fewer algorithms were suggested for differential X-ray phase contrast imaging. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to eliminate the ring artifacts caused by grating imperfections in X-ray phase contrast tomography. This method requires 360-degree projection data and exploits the anti-symmetry of conjugate rays to locate the artifact regions. Moreover, an interpolation scheme for sinogram-domain is proposed to correct artifacts. Experimental results show that the algorithm performs well in the case of severe artifacts.
