TTR algorithm for the inversion of the exponential X-ray transform

چکیده
In this paper, we present an FBP algorithm suitable for image reconstruction from exponential X-ray projections sampled on any subset of the sphere that includes great circles. This algorithm is similar to the TTR-algorithm of Ra et al. (1982) for non-attenuated projections. It is derived by combining all reconstructions that can be obtained from the subsets of measurements corresponding to a great circle. Our results generalize those published by I. Hazou (1988) and Weng et al. (1996) for reconstruction from projections sampled on the unit sphere. However, they remain modest as they only apply to specific sets of measurements.

3-D image reconstruction from exponential X-ray projections using Neumann series
In two dimensions, the exponential X-ray transform has been wellstudied due to its applications of correcting attenuation effects in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Explicit inversion formulas have been known for over 15 years. The threedimensional (3D) case has not been as thoroughly examined, and inversion formulas are available for only a few of the wide range of possible...
متن کاملInversion of the 3D exponential x-ray transform for a half equatorial band and other semi-circular geometries.
This work presents new mathematical results on the inversion of the exponential x-ray transform. It is shown that a reconstruction formula can be obtained for any dataset whose projection directions consist of a union of half great circles on the unit sphere. A basic example of such a dataset is the semi-equatorial band. The discussion in the paper is mostly focused on this example. The reconst...
متن کاملThe X-ray Transform and its Application in Nano Crystallography
In this article a review on the definition of the X- ray transform and some ofits applications in Nano crystallography is presented. We shall show that the X- raytransform is a special case of the Radon transform on homogeneous spaces when thetopological group E(n)- the Euclidean group - acts on ℝ2 transitively. First someproperties of the Radon transform are investigated then the relationship ...
متن کاملA New Exact Inversion Method for Exponential Radon Transform Using the Harmonic Analysis of the Euclidean Motion Group
This paper presents a new method for the exponential Radon transform inversion based on the harmonic analysis of the Euclidean motion group of the plane. The proposed inversion method is based on the observation that the exponential Radon transform can be modified to obtain a new transform, defined as the modified exponential Radon transform, that can be expressed as a convolution on the Euclid...
