ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for performing channel dependent and gain dependent smoothing filter (across channels) to compensate for noise in a multislice imaging system are described. The smoothing mainly affects the radial resolution. The filter can be combined with the matrix deconvolution filter typically used in multi-slice scanners. The filter is channel and DAS gain dependent and provides that an image generated from data collected in a multi-slice scan has about the same image quality, e.g., noise reduction, as images generated by other types of scanners.
