This paper is to investigate the high-quality analytical reconstructions of multiple source-translation computed tomography (mSTCT) under an extended field of view (FOV). Under the larger FOVs, the previously proposed backprojection filtration (BPF) algorithms for mSTCT, including D-BPF and S-BPF, make some intolerable errors in the image edges due to an unstable backprojection weighting factor and the half-scan mode, which deviates from the intention of mSTCT imaging. In this paper, to achieve reconstruction with as little error as possible under the extremely extended FOV, we propose two strategies, including deriving a no-weighting D-BPF (NWD-BPF) for mSTCT and introducing BPFs into a special full-scan mSTCT (F-mSTCT) to balance errors, i.e., abbreviated as FD-BPF and FS-BPF. For the first strategy, we eliminate this unstable backprojection weighting factor by introducing a special variable relationship in D-BPF. For the second strategy, we combine the F-mSTCT geometry with BPFs to study the performance and derive a suitable redundant weighting function for F-mSTCT. The experiments demonstrate our proposed methods for these strategies. Among them, NWD-BPF can weaken the instability at the image edges but blur the details, and FS-BPF can get high-quality stable images under the extremely extended FOV imaging a large object but requires more projections than FD-BPF. For different practical requirements in extending FOV imaging, we give suggestions on algorithm selection.
