Abstract
A system and method for CT projection extrapolation are provided. The method comprises receiving a CT projection for extrapolation. The method also comprises selecting a target patch comprising at least one pixel of a row to be extrapolated. The method further comprises generating a correlation profile between the target patch and one or more source patches, wherein the source patches comprise measured pixels in the CT projection in one or more rows adjacent to the target patch. The projection data is generated for at least one pixel of the target patch based on the correlation profile and the measured pixels of at least one of the source patches.
