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

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for image reconstruction. The systems may perform the methods to obtain image data, at least a portion of the image data relating to a region of interest (ROI); determine local information of the image data, the local information relating to orientation information of the image data; determine a regularization item based on the local information; and modify the image data based on the regularization item.

System and method for image reconstruction

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for reconstructing an image in an imaging system. The methods may include obtaining scan data representing an intensity distribution of energy detected at a plurality of detector elements and determining an image estimate. The methods may further include determining an objective function based on the scan data and the image estimate. The objective function may include a regularization parameter. The methods may further include iteratively updating the image estimate until the objective function satisfies a termination criterion, and for each update, updating the regularization parameter based on a gradient of an updated image estimate. The methods may further include outputting a final image based on the updated image estimate when the objective function satisfies the termination criterion.

Systems and methods for image reconstruction

Systems and methods for image noise reduction are provided. The methods may include obtaining first image data, determining a restriction or a gradient of the first image data, determining a regularization parameter for the first image data based on the restriction or the gradient, generating second image data based on the regularization parameter and the first image data, and generating a regularized image based on the second image data.
