Abstract
A method for use in image reconstruction of CT projection data, which aims at reducing motion artefacts in reconstructed images caused by movement of anatomical bodies. Embodiments are based on mitigating motion artefacts based on restricting the range of data that is used for reconstructing each slice. More particularly, a sub-range of the projection data corresponding to each slice is selected, this sub-range being chosen based on determining one or more sub-windows of visibility of a target anatomical object or event within the projection data sequence. The event may be a particular phase of a movement cycle of the anatomical body. The structure could be a particular portion of the anatomical body which is of interest. Either approach leads to reduction of motion artefacts within a single slice, by restricting the data range, and focusing upon the data which is most relevant clinically.
