Schematic of virtual projection stitching of SR-PBI-CT from SR-PBI-HCT projections. Ii,j,k and [{\hat I_{i^{\,\prime},\,j^{\,\prime},\,k^{\,\prime}}}] are the gray value of the SR-PBI-HCT projection and the gray value of the converted virtual SR-PBI-CT projection at the positions (i, j, k) and (i′, j′, k′), respectively. i and i′ are the row indexes, j and j′ are the column indexes, and k and k′ are the projection indexes. [{\hat I_{i^{\,\prime},\,j^{\,\prime},\,k^{\,\prime}}}] is the linear interpolation result of Ii, j, k and Ii+1,j,k with a weight of 1 − w and w. The virtual SR-PBI-CT projection at an index of k′ is transformed from a sequence of SR-PBI-HCT projections at index of k, k + Np/2,…, k + (2NR − 1)Np/2 with an interval of Np/2. The total row M of the SR-PBI-HCT projection is [\lfloor h_{\rm FOV}/d \rfloor] while the total row M′ of the virtual SR-PBI-CT projection is [\lfloor N_{\rm R}(s_{\rm v}/t)+ (h_{\rm FOV}/d)\rfloor]. mod(·,·) denotes the modulo operator.
