This master’s thesis will focus on optimizing image reconstruction methods for dedicated breast CT scans using a circle-spiral trajectory. The aim is to improve post-reconstruction image quality and mitigate artifacts arising from the uneven distribution of information between the top and bottom regions, where the circular trajectory contributes more data than the helical section. The research will explore techniques to balance these differences and enhance overall image fidelity.
