    Abstract: A method for imaging an object is provided. The method includes acquiring image data of the object, wherein the image data includes a plurality of original voxels each having an original CT number, identifying, using a processing device, a subset of the original voxels based on at least one of an original CT number and a location of each original voxel, applying, using the processing device, an anisotropic smoothing filter to the identified original voxels in the subset to generate a set of smoothed voxels each having a smoothed CT number, generating, using the processing device, smoothed image data by combining the original voxels and the smoothed voxels, and analyzing the smoothed image data to determine whether the object contains contraband.

    Abstract: An adaptive CT data acquisition system and technique is presented whereby radiation emitted for CT data acquisition is dynamically controlled to limit exposure to those detectors of a CT detector assembly that may be particularly susceptible to saturation during a given data acquisition. The data acquisition technique recognizes that for a given subject size and position that pre-subject filtering and collimating of a radiation beam may be insufficient to completely prevent detector saturation. Therefore, the present invention includes implementation of a number of CT data correction techniques for correcting otherwise unusable data of a saturated CT detector. These data correction techniques include a nearest neighbor correction, off-centered phantom correction, off-centered synthetic data correction, scout data correction, planar radiogram correction, and a number of others. The invention is applicable with energy discriminating CT systems as well as with conventional CT systems and other multi-energy CT systems, such as dual kVp-based systems.

    Abstract: Methods for three-dimensional projecting and backprojecting rays with respect to voxels/detector bins to attenuate/eliminate high-frequency artifacts, are disclosed. A distance-driven technique wherein the transitions of the voxels and the detector bins are respectively projected onto a predetermined plane. This projection allows a determination of the contribution of each of the voxels/bins for each of the bins/voxels with lower computation time and improved artifact free images.

    Abstract: A technique is provided for CT reconstruction for use in CT metrology. The boundary based CT reconstruction method includes the steps of initializing a boundary of an object to obtain a boundary estimate, defining a forward model based on the boundary estimate, linearizing the forward model to obtain a system matrix and implementing an iterative image reconstruction process using the system matrix to update the boundary estimate.
