A contrast enhanced dynamic study of a subject is performed with a CT system.
A
series of undersampled image data sets are acquired during the study with successive
data sets acquired at interleaved projection angles. More fully sampled image data
sets are formed by transforming the x-ray attenuation projection data to k-space
and then sharing peripheral k-space data between undersampled k-space data sets.
Artifacts due to undersampling are thus reduced without significantly affecting
the time resolution of a series of reconstructed images.
