Abstract
Embodiments of the present application provide a computed tomography imaging method and apparatus. The method includes pre-scanning an examined site by using an incomplete detector at a pitch factor of greater than 3 to obtain first data, axially scanning the examined site using the incomplete detector to obtain second data, stitching the first data and the second data to obtain third data; compensating the third data to obtain compensated third data, and performing image reconstruction by using the compensated third data to obtain a scanned image. Therefore, by performing two scans using an incomplete detector, stitching and compensating data obtained by the two scans, while reducing the total dose of X-rays, the integrity of the obtained data is ensured, and the image quality of the final obtained scanned image is maintained.
