Computing reconstruction kernels for circular 3-D cone beam tomography.
In this paper, we present techniques for deriving inversion algorithms in 3-D computer tomography. To this end, we introduce the mathematical model and apply a general strategy, the so-called approximate inverse, for deriving both exact and numerical inversion formulas. Using further approximations, we derive a 2-D shift-invariant filter for circular-orbit cone-beam imaging. Results from real data are presented.
