CT reconstruction quality control
A computer-implemented method, system, and instructions can include receiving a reconstructed volume of an object; determining an air density and a material density from the reconstructed volume of the object; subdividing the reconstructed volume into one or more blocks, each block comprising one or more voxels; determining one or more contrast blocks within the reconstructed volume; and determining a reconstruction quality based on the number of contrast blocks in the reconstructed volume.
