ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in one form, is a system for reducing noise artifacts in three-dimensional image reconstruction using data acquired in a helical scan. More specifically, a standard deviation ratio of reconstructed images with and without helical weighting is identified. Such standard deviation ratio is then used to generate filter coefficients, which are then applied to the data in an adaptive smoothing algorithm.
