title: Fast gridding projectors for analytical and iterative tomographic reconstruction of differential phase contrast data.
abstract: This paper introduces new gridding projectors designed to efficiently perform analytical and iterative tomographic reconstruction, when the forward model is represented by the derivative of the Radon transform. This inverse problem is tightly connected with an emerging X-ray tube- and synchrotron-based imaging technique: differential phase contrast based on a grating interferometer. This study shows, that the proposed projectors, compared to space-based implementations of the same operators, yield high quality analytical and iterative reconstructions, while improving the computational efficiency by few orders of magnitude.
