Abstract:
We examine a direct filtered back projection approach that is suitable for the reconstruction of weakly absorbing homogeneous phase objects. Like recent similar approaches this method needs only one intensity image in each projection without the requirement for an intermediate step of phase retrieval. We tested the method using simulation and experimental results. Simulation results show good quantitative reconstruction which includes the correct refractive index value and distribution of the sample. However, experimental result still indicates the presence of artifacts.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
