Method of reducing artifacts in object images
First Claim
1. A method of reducing artifacts in object images acquired by means of measurement signals sent by a source through the object onto a detector, which method comprises the steps of:
- a) adaptively filtering the data signals received by the detector in dependence of the data value;
b) processing the data signals to indicate the attenuation of the measurement signals passing through the object; and
c) reconstructing an image of the object based on the filtered and processed data signals, characterized in that step b) is performed on the adaptively filtered data signals resulting from step a).

Abstract
The invention concerns a method of reducing artifacts in object images acquired by means of measurement signals sent by a source through the object onto a detector, which method comprises the steps of: a) adaptively filtering the data signals received by the detector in dependence of the data value; b) processing the data signals to indicate the attenuation of the measurement signals passing through the object; and c) reconstructing an image of the object based on the filtered and processed data signals. The method according to the invention is characterized in that step b) is performed on the adaptively filtered data signals resulting from step a).
The invention also refers to a computed tomography device that comprises a processing unit for carrying out the method according the invention and to a computer program for carrying out said method.
