ABSTRACT:
Streaking artifacts in a computed tomography x-ray image are reduced by adaptively filtering each set of projection data. The adaptive filter produces an error vector (.theta.) by low-pass filtering the projection data (P) and subtracting the error vector (.theta.) from the projection data (P) prior to image reconstruction. A window function generator controls the low-pass filter as a function of x-ray detector readings.
