Abstract
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.
