Recently, linear computed tomography (LCT) systems have actively attracted attention. To weaken projection truncation and image the region of interest (ROI) for LCT, the backprojection filtration (BPF) algorithm is an effective solution. However, in BPF for LCT, it is difficult to achieve stable interior reconstruction, and for differentiated backprojection (DBP) images of LCT, multiple rotation-finite inversion of Hilbert transform (Hilbert filtering)-inverse rotation operations will blur the image. To satisfy multiple reconstruction scenarios for LCT, including interior ROI, complete object, and exterior region beyond field-of-view (FOV), and avoid the rotation operations of Hilbert filtering, we propose two types of reconstruction architectures. The first overlays multiple DBP images to obtain a complete DBP image, then uses a network to learn the overlying Hilbert filtering function, referred to as the Overlay-Single Network (OSNet). The second uses multiple networks to train different directional Hilbert filtering models for DBP images of multiple linear scannings, respectively, and then overlays the reconstructed results, i.e., Multiple Networks Overlaying (MNetO). In two architectures, we introduce a Swin Transformer (ST) block to the generator of pix2pixGAN to extract both local and global features from DBP images at the same time. We investigate two architectures from different networks, FOV sizes, pixel sizes, number of projections, geometric magnification, and processing time. Experimental results show that two architectures can both recover images. OSNet outperforms BPF in various scenarios. For the different networks, ST-pix2pixGAN is superior to pix2pixGAN and CycleGAN. MNetO exhibits a few artifacts due to the differences among the multiple models, but any one of its models is suitable for imaging the exterior edge in a certain direction.
