For circular trajectory conebeam CT, Feldkamp, Davis, and Kress (FDK) algorithm is widely used for its reconstruction. However, the existence of cone-angle artifacts is fatal for the quality when using this algorithm. There are several model-based iterative reconstruction methods for the cone-angle artifacts removal, but these algorithms usually require repeated applications of computational expensive forward and backward.In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning approach for cone-angle artifact removal on differentiated backprojection domain, which performs a data-driven inversion of an ill-posed deconvolution problem related to the Hilbert transform. The reconstruction results along the coronal and sagittal directions are then combined by a spectral blending technique to minimize the spectral leakage. Experimental results show that our method provides superior performance to the existing methods.
