    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We present an alternative approach for precise reconstruction of the images from helical cone-beam projections combining Hilbert filter and Ramp filter. METHODS: Based on the Katsevich algorithm framework, the proposed algorithm combined the FDK-type algorithms and Katsevich algorithm for their respective advantages, to completely avoid the direct derivatives with respect to the coordinates on the detector plane. RESULTS: The experimental results validated the accuracy of the new algorithm, and this approach significantly improved the resolution of the reconstructed images with much reduced artifacts. CONCLUSION: The proposed reconstruction formula based on hybrid Hilbert-Ramp filter is an important development of Katsevich reconstruction formula, and the different forms of the Ramp filters can be designed to realize frequency modulation according to the actual clinical application.
