Abstract
Various methods and systems are provided for estimating and compensating for table deflection in reconstructed images. In one embodiment, a method for computed tomography (CT) imaging comprises reconstructing images from data acquired during a helical CT scan where table deflection parameters are estimated and the reconstruction is adjusted based on the table deflection parameters. In this way, images may be reconstructed without artifacts caused by table deflection.
