Abstract

Systems and methods for geometric calibration and image reconstruction in computed tomography (CT) scanning using iterative reconstruction algorithms are provided. An iterative reconstruction algorithm can be used to reconstruct an improved image, and then the improved image can be used to adjust inaccurate parameters by using a Locally Linear Embedding (LLE) method. Adjusted parameters can then be used to reconstruct new images, which can then be used to further adjust the parameters. The steps of this iterative process can be repeated until a quality threshold is met.
