چکیده
A convolution-backprojection formula is deduced for direct reconstruction of a three-dimensional density function from a set of two-dimensional projections. The formula is approximate but has useful properties, including errors that are relatively small in many practical instances and a form that leads to convenient computation. It reduces to the standard fan-beam formula in the plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation and contains the point source. The algorithm is applied to a mathematical phantom as an example of its performance.

A cone-beam tomography algorithm for orthogonal circle-and-line orbit.
A cone-beam algorithm which provides a practical implementation of B D Smith's cone-beam inversion formula is presented. For a cone-beam vertex orbit consisting of a circle and an orthogonal line. This geometry is easy to implement in a SPECT system, and it satisfies the cone-beam data sufficiency condition. The proposed algorithm is in the form of a convolution-back projection, and requires a ...
متن کاملReview of Recent Developments in Cone-beam Ct Reconstruction Algorithms for Long-object Problem
Long-object problem and short-object problem both deal with reconstruction problems with truncated conebeam CT projections acquired with a helical path. They have significantly less practical limitations than original exact cone-beam CT reconstruction algorithms which the cone-beam must cover the whole object. The short-object problem can be defined as reconstruction of the whole object having ...
متن کاملFeldkamp-type image reconstruction from equiangular data.
The cone-beam approach for image reconstruction attracts an increasing attention in various applications, especially medical imaging. Previously, the traditional practical cone-beam reconstruction method, the Feldkamp algorithm, was generalized into the case of spiral/helical scanning loci with equispatial cone-beam projection data. In this paper, we formulated the generalized Feldkamp algorith...
متن کاملPractical Helical Cone Beam Algorithm for the Long Object Problem
Cone beam computed tomography (CT) based on nonplanar orbits has been an active area of research toward the goal of producing an exact volumetric reconstruction. To date, most reconstruction algorithms for non-planar orbits have been based on the theoretical framework of Tuy[1], Smith [2] and Grangeat[3]. Of all the investigated non-planar orbits, the helical scanning geometry is most promising...
متن کاملVolume Reconstruction of Cone-Beam Geometry
The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a tutorial overview on the subject of cone-beam geometry devices imaging. Toward this end, we have tried to strike a balance among purely algorithmic issues, topics (tomosynthesis imaging etc.) dealing with how to generate data for reconstruction in different domains, and artifacts inherent to different data collection strategies. This manuscript is ...
