ABSTRACT:
In an x-ray computed tomography imaging system, it is often useful to have access to the unreconstructed CT projection data, called sinogram data. Scout image data can be converted to a sinogram using a series of computer implemented algorithms, since the original sinogram data may be unavailable or in a proprietary format. Using this conversion, multiple scout images may be substituted for unavailable sinogram data.
