Abstract
The CT imaging system optimizes its image generation by updating an image with the current application of a data fidelity update and a regularization update together in a single step in an iterative reconstruction algorithm. The iterative reconstruction algorithm includes the ordered subsets simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (OSSART) and the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART). The data fidelity update and the regularization update are independently obtained using some predetermined statistical information such as noise and or error in matching the real data.
