Abstract
In previous studies, we developed a blind deblurring algorithm based on the edge-to-noise ratio (ENR) and EM algorithm to improve the quality of spiral CT images. In this work, we apply the Wiener filter in place of the EM algorithm to improve the timing performance. The algorithm works well in patient studies. After fully automatic blind deblurring, the conspicuity of the submillimeter features of the cochlea image is substantially improved. The new ENR-Wiener blind deblurring approach significantly improves the computation speed with comparable image quality in previous studies.
