Abstract
A method of reconstructing an image that may include in at least one example: determining coincidence events based on detection by a detector during a continuous incremental scanning; determining an axial position for each of the coincidence events; storing data for each of the coincidence events including the axial position in a list mode; sorting the data for each of the coincidence events according to a spatial order; and obtaining an image by performing iterative reconstruction with the sorted data for each of the coincidence events.
Claims14
A method of reconstructing an image, comprising:
- determining coincidence events detected by a detector during a continuous incremental scanning in which a scanning bed continuously moves;
- determining an axial position for each of the coincidence events;
- storing data for each of the coincidence events comprising the axial position in a list mode;
- sorting the data for each of the coincidence events according to a spatial order;
- and
- obtaining an image by performing iterative reconstruction with the sorted data for each of the coincidence events.
A device for reconstructing an image, comprising:
- a processor and a machine-readable storage medium,
- wherein by invoking and executing machine-executable instructions corresponding to a control logic for reconstructing an image stored on the machine-readable storage medium, the processor is caused to:
- determine coincidence events detected by a detector during a continuous incremental scanning in which a scanning bed continuously moves;
- determine an axial position for each of the coincidence events;
- store data for each of the coincidence events comprising the axial position in a list mode;
- sort the data for each of the coincidence events according to a spatial order;
- and
- obtain an image by performing iterative reconstruction with the sorted data for each of the coincidence events.
