n-Dim Fourier inversion of Radon data Recover function f (x) from (n-1) dim planar integrals in 3 steps: many 1D FFTs, regrid, n-Dim IFFT. data proj-slice (1D FFT) regrid nD IFFT
n-Dim Xray Inversion Recover a function f(x) from line integrals in 2 steps: backproject, then high-pass filter. data BP filter
n-Dim FBP Recover function f (x) from (n-1) dim planar integrals in 2 steps: high-pass filter, then backproject. data filter BP

FDK - perturbation of 2D FBP Pb,x = plane defined by source position b and a horizontal line on detector containing x fix reconstruction point x, for each source position b update f(x) as if reconstructing plane Pb,x end x k b

VCT Research at GE • Kennan T. Smith - CRD summer visitor from Oregon State University; filtered backprojection algorithms • Kwok Tam - CRD employee; implemented Grangeat's algorithm; long object problem • Per-Erik Danielsson - CRD summer visitor ~90 from Linkoping University; Fourier implementation of Grangeat's algorithm • Hui Hu - GEMS-ASL; compared FDK vs. Grangeat • SK Patch - range conditions on VCT data
VCT in Action at GE • MBPL(CRD) - Tam recons for GEAE projects - plagued by detector problems • GEAE - circular FDK on high-res VCT data w/very small cone angle, high-contrast • IEL(CRD) - circular FDK on Apollo data, high-contrast • GEMS - helical FDK on Lightspeed data
