摘要
Images reconstructed for transmission tomography with iterative Ordered Subsets Maximum Likelihood (OSML) algorithms have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than images reconstructed with filtered back-projection type algorithms. However, a drawback of OSML reconstruction is the requirement that a field-of-view (FOV) has to be reconstructed that covers the whole volume, which contributed to the absorption. In the case of a high resolution reconstruction, this demands a huge number of voxels. This paper presents a solution, how an iterative OSML reconstruction can be limited to a region of interest without loosing the advantages of a OSML reconstruction. Compared with a full FOV OSML reconstruction, the reconstruction speed mainly increases by the number of voxels, which are saved. In addition, less iterations are needed to achieve the same result.
