The authors compare the Fourier algorithm and a search algorithm using a simulated phantom to speed the search algorithm by using fewer interactions leaves decreased resolution in the region just inside the skull which could mask a subdural hematoma.Abstract:
The Fourier reconstruction may be viewed simply in the spatial domain as the sum of each line integral times a weighting function of the distance from the line to the point of reconstruction A modified weighting function simultaneously achieves accuracy, simplicity, low computation time, as well as low sensitivity to noise Using a simulated phantom, the authors compare the Fourier algorithm and a search algorithm The search algorithm required 12 iterations to obtain a reconstruction of accuracy and resolution comparable to that of the Fourier reconstruction, and was more sensitive to noise To speed the search algorithm by using fewer interactions leaves decreased resolution in the region just inside the skull which could mask a subdural hematomaread more

Practical cone-beam algorithm
TL;DR: In this article, a convolution-backprojection formula is deduced for direct reconstruction of a three-dimensional density function from a set of two-dimensional projections, which has useful properties, including errors that are relatively small in many practical instances and a form that leads to convenient computation.

Maximum Likelihood Reconstruction for Emission Tomography
L. A. Shepp,Y. Vardi +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a more accurate general mathematical model for ET where an unknown emission density generates, and is to be reconstructed from, the number of counts n*(d) in each of D detector units d. Within the model, they gave an algorithm for determining an estimate? of? which maximizes the probability p(n*|?) of observing the actual detector count data n* over all possible densities?.

Simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART): a superior implementation of the art algorithm.
TL;DR: This implementation of the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique appears to have a computational advantage over the more traditional implementation of ART and potential applications include image reconstruction in conjunction with ray tracing for ultrasound and microwave tomography.
