Abstract

Computed tomography images have an impact in many applications such as medicine, and others. Recently, compressed sensing-based acquisition strategies have been proposed in order to reduce the x-ray radiation dose. However, these methods lose critical information of the sinogram. In this paper, a reconstruction method of sparse measurements from a sinogram is proposed. The proposed approach takes advantage of the redundancy of similar patches in the sinogram, and estimates a target pixel using a weighted average of its neighbors. Simulation results show that the proposed method obtained a gain up to 2 dB with respect to an l(1) minimization algorithm.
