چکیده

The Radon transform is a fundamental tool in many areas. For example, in reconstruction of an image from its projections (CT scanning). Recently A. Averbuch et al. [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., submitted for publication] developed a coherent discrete definition of the 2D discrete Radon transform for 2D discrete images. The definition in [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., submitted for publication] is shown to be algebraically exact, invertible, and rapidly computable. We define a notion of 3D Radon transform for discrete 3D images (volumes) which is based on summation over planes with absolute slopes less than 1 in each direction. Values at nongrid locations are defined using trigonometric interpolation on a zero-padded grid. The 3D discrete definition of the Radon transform is shown to be geometrically faithful as the planes used for summation exhibit no wraparound effects. There exists a special set of planes in the 3D case for which the transform is rapidly computable and invertible. We describe an algorithm that computes the 3D discrete Radon transform which uses O(N logN) operations, where N = n3 is the number of pixels in the image. The algorithm relies on the 3D discrete slice theorem that associates the Radon transform with the pseudo-polar Fourier transform. The pseudo-polar Fourier transform evaluates the Fourier transform on a non-Cartesian pointset, which we call the pseudo-polar grid. The rapid exact evaluation of the Fourier transform at these non-Cartesian grid points is possible using the fractional Fourier transform.  2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

An E cient Fourier Method for 3 D RadonInversion in Exact Cone - Beam

| The 3D Radon transform of an object is an important intermediate result in many analytically exact cone-beam reconstruction algorithms. In this paper, we present a new, highly eecient method for 3D Radon inversion, i.e. reconstruction of the image from the 3D Radon transform, called Direct Fourier Inversion (DFI). The method is based directly on the 3D Fourier Slice Theorem. From the 3D Radon...

The Radon Transform on SO(3): A Fourier Slice Theorem and Numerical Inversion

The inversion of the one–dimensional Radon transform on the rotation group SO(3) is an ill posed inverse problem which applies to X–ray tomography with polycrystalline materials. This communication presents a novel approach to the numerical inversion of the one–dimensional Radon transform on SO(3). Based on a Fourier slice theorem the discrete inverse Radon transform of a function sampled on th...

Fast computation of 3D radon transform via a direct Fourier method

MOTIVATION Arrays of three-dimensional (3D) data are ubiquitous in structural biology, biomedicine and clinical imaging. The Radon transform can be implied in their manipulation mainly for the solution of the inverse tomographic problem, since experimental data are often collected as projections or as samples of the Radon space. In electron tomography, new applications of the transform may beco...

CT reconstruction from parallel and fan-beam projections by 2D discrete Radon transform

We propose two algorithms for the reconstruction of a 2D object from its continuous projections. The first algorithm operates on parallel projection data, while the second uses the more practical model of fan-beam projections. Both algorithms are based on the discrete Radon transform, which extends the continuous Radon transform to discrete data. The discrete Radon transform and its inverse can...
