Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) X-ray CT(Computed Tomography) is a device that uses a computer to reconstruct a tomographic image from the intensity data of X-rays that have passed through an object. Scattered rays are generated from the object in addition to the transmitted primary X-rays. Scattered X-rays cause artifacts on reconstructed images, so they are removed by grids in ordinary X-ray CT. We believe that removing the scattered X-ray wastes information about the object and exposure in the scattered X-ray. Norton has proposed a reconstruction method based on the physical properties of Compton-scattered X-rays, but the problem is that it assumes a detector with a high energy resolution. Kobayashi introduced the iterative reconstruction method to Norton's method, which can be expected to achieve with high accuracy. He showed the possibility of reconstruction with a realistic energy resolution detector. However, the method lacks verification because it does not take into account the irradiation method of X-rays and the attenuation of X-ray photons. In this paper, We propose a new reconstruction method that incorporates the attenuation of X-ray photons and perform numerical experiments.
