| pubmed-article:11686436 | pubmed:abstractText | The reconstruction of tomographic images is often treated as a linear deblurring problem. When a high-density, man-made metal object is present somewhere in the image field, it is a deblurring problem in which the unknown function has a component that is known except for some location and orientation parameters. We first address general linear deblurring problems in which a known function having unknown parameters is present. We then show how the resulting iterative solution can be applied to tomographic imaging in the presence of man-made foreign objects, and we apply the result, in particular, to X-ray computed tomography imaging used in support of brachytherapy treatment of advanced cervical cancer. | lld:pubmed |
