Fourier-based forward and back-projectors in iterative fan-beam tomographic image reconstruction
2006
Fourier-based forward and back-projection methods can reduce computation in iterative tomographic image reconstruction. Recently, an optimized nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) approach was shown to yield accurate parallel-beam projections. In this paper, we extend the NUFFT approach to describe an O(N/sup 2/ log N) projector/backprojector pair for fan-beam transmission tomography. Simulations and experiments with real CT data show that fan-beam Fourier-based forward and back-projection methods can reduce computation for iterative reconstruction while still providing accuracy comparable to their O(N/sup 3/) space-based counterparts.
