The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for image generation. The methods may include obtaining projection data generated by a scanner; generating, based on a first weighting function, a first image by back-projecting the projection data, the first image having a first region corresponding to a first part of the object; generating, based on a second weighting function, a second image by back-projecting the projection data, the second image having a second region corresponding to the first part of the object, the second region of the second image presenting a better CT number uniformity than the first region of the first image; and generating a third image based on the first image and the second image.

Systems and methods for image generation

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for iterative reconstruction. Raw data detected from a plurality of angles by an imaging device may be obtained. A first seed image may be generated by performing a filtered back projection on the raw data. A first air mask may be determined by performing a minimum value back projection (BP) on the raw data. One or more images may be reconstructed by performing an iterative reconstruction based on the first seed image, the first air mask, and the raw data.

Systems and methods for iterative reconstruction

A system and method for generating X-rays are disclosed. The method may include emitting an electron beam from a cathode to a focal track of a rotating target. The method may further include deflecting the electron beam onto a first region of the focal track at a first time, and deflecting the electron beam onto a second region of the focal track at a second time. The first region of the focal track may be separated from the second region of the focal track. The method may further include generating X-rays in response to the electron beam deflected onto the first region of the focal track or onto the second region of the focal track.
