摘要： Image reconstruction time in a CT scanner is enhanced by using a pipeline structure and interpolation techniques to identify each detector for use in back projection of radiation aborption measurements through each pixel in each view of the scanner. In a preferred embodiment, detectors are identified by calculation for a pixel in every third view with detectors for intermediate views obtained by interpolation of the calculated detectors. Similarly, detectors are identified for every other pixel in a view with the detector for the intermediate pixel identified by interpolation.

摘要： A procedure for use with a data acquisition system and an array processor for real time processing of the acquired data. Rather than utilize the array processor in its normal mode to process one array before moving on to the next, processing of subportions of a given array is interleaved with inputting of acquired data sets for the next array. The size of the subgroup, the number of data sets in the array, the number of channels to be processed, the nature of the process to be performed and the speed at which it can be performed are balanced in such a way that (a) processing of a subgroup is completed at about the time the next set is ready for input, and (b) at the completion of processing of the last subgroup within a given array, the last set of the next array is ready for input, so that processing of the next array commences immediately.
