CT imaging method and X-ray CT apparatus

Year	Description
1998	Invention patented by Akira Hagiwara on August 27th, 1998. Abstract: In an X-ray CT imaging apparatus which is designed to produce a CT image in a short time, a master processor (MP) converts fan-view image data produced by multiple X-ray sensors into para-view image data, and thereafter distributes the resulting data to slave processors (SP1 through SP4), which are also supplied with modification data (B1 through B4). The slave processors (SP1 through SP4) implement the first pre-processing, second pre-processing, FBP process and post processing continuously, thereby producing BP data (I1 through I4). The master processor (MP) collects and composes the BP data (I1 through I4) to produce a CT image.
