Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for computed tomography (CT) imaging. In one embodiment, a method comprises adaptively blending at least two input image volumes with different spatially-variant noise characteristics to generate an output image volume with uniform noise throughout the output image volume. In this way, images may be reconstructed from projection data with data redundancy without introducing image artifacts from stitching images or variance in image noise due to the data redundancy.
