Image display methods

The present disclosure discloses an image display method in a CT system. The method comprises: implementing CT scanning on an inspected object, to obtain CT projection data; organizing the CT projection data according to a predetermined interval; extracting basic data from the organized CT projection data by using a fixed angle as a start angle and using 360 degrees as an interval; forming a DR image based on the extracted basic data; reconstructing a three-dimensional image of the inspected object from the CT projection data; and displaying the DR image and the reconstructed three-dimensional image on a screen at the same time. In the solution, the CT data is processed to obtain DR data. After the DR data is obtained, a DR image is obtained directly using a DR data processing algorithm. This enables an image recognizer to more accurately and more rapidly inspect goods carried by a passenger using the existing experience in image recognition of the DR image.
