Abstract

FDK algorithm widely used in cone beam CT image reconstruction has strict requirements on the geometric alignment of cone beam CT system. In terms of the cone beam CT system, especially the micro-CT system, the actual installation accuracy is difficult to meet the requirements of micro level positioning, it inevitably leads to image distortion. To solve this kind of problem, this paper proposes a geometric calibration method based on the square-line phantom. Firstly, we acquire square-line phantom projection in a fixed direction under different voltages, frame frequency and exposure time , and analytically determine the calibration geometry of the cone beam system. Finally reconstruct image using modified FDK algorithm， which has well calibrated the geometric errors of cone beam CT system. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has good noise immunity, and the positioning accuracy can meet the needs of practical application.
