On projection-reconstruction NMR.
Three most simple Projection-Reconstruction algorithms, namely, the Lowest-Value, Additive Back-Projection and Hybrid Back-Projection/Lowest-Value algorithms, are analyzed. A new, also simple, algorithm that reconstructs the spectrum by utilizing the amplitude histogram at each reconstruction point, is explored. The algorithms are tested using simulated spectra. While all the algorithms considered can potentially result in substantial reduction of the amount of data needed for reconstruction, they can suffer from a number of drawbacks. In particular, they often fail when the spectra are noisy and/or contain overlapping peaks. When compared to the existing algorithms, the new, histogram-based algorithm has the potential advantage of being able to deal with spectra containing peaks of opposite phase.
