Abstract
A computed tomography apparatus and method where data is upsampled with shifting to produce upsampled data. The data is shifted up and down in the same amount in the z-direction, and then upsampled through interpolation. An image is reconstructed using the upsampled data. The process is preferably performed column-by-column. An upsampling shift and interpolation kernel size can be adaptive to the data z-gradient.
