System and method for reducing artifact bloom in a reconstructed object

Abstract:

A system for reducing artifact bloom in a reconstructed image of an object is provided. The system includes an imaging device, and a controller. The imaging device is operative to obtain one or more slices of the object. The controller is in electronic communication with the imaging device and operative to: generate the reconstructed image based at least in part on the one or more slices; and de-bloom one or more regions within the reconstructed image based at least in part on a contrast medium enhancement across at least part of a volume of the object.
