Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Phase-contrast CT tomographically delineates biological soft tissues, which cannot be clearly imaged using absorption contrast CT, at high contrast and high spatial resolution. Since the phase-contrast CT extracts phase-shift information from interferograms acquired using the x-ray interferometer, phase unwrapping is required in order to generate projections for CT reconstruction. In this research, we proposed a novel phase-unwrap method based on 2-D AR (Auto Regressive) model as follows: First, AR parameters modeling sinogram are estimated using pixels in partial regions unwrapped accurately with a conventional unwrap method. Next, based on the AR model, we detect sites of phase jump in the wrapped sinogram, and then to eliminate the phase jump by adding 2n (n is an integer) so that the residuals are as close to zero, i.e., an average of the residual-distribution, as possible. We investigated the efficacy of the algorithm by simulation data based on actual data acquired at KEK.
