1 April 2016Iterative CT reconstruction using coordinate descent with ordered subsets of data
Image reconstruction based on iterative minimization of a penalized weighted least-square criteria has become
an important topic of research in X-ray computed tomography. This topic is motivated by increasing evidence
that such a formalism may enable a significant reduction in dose imparted to the patient while maintaining or
improving image quality. One important issue associated with this iterative image reconstruction concept is
slow convergence and the associated computational effort. For this reason, there is interest in finding methods
that produce approximate versions of the targeted image with a small number of iterations and an acceptable
level of discrepancy. We introduce here a novel method to produce such approximations: ordered subsets in
combination with iterative coordinate descent. Preliminary results demonstrate that this method can produce,
within 10 iterations and using only a constant image as initial condition, satisfactory reconstructions that retain
the noise properties of the targeted image.
