An explanation of the effects of Squashing in limited angle tomography
Abstract:
The effects of Squashing, an algorithm introduced by J.A. Reeds and L.A. Shepp (see ibid., vol.MI-6, no.2, p.89-97, June 1987), are described. It is proven that Squashing induces a weight function upon the projections. Intuitive and numerical evidence is presented showing that this weight function is not desirable at limited angles. A method to counteract the effects of the weight function and extend the usefulness of the algorithm to 120 degrees is proposed.

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...
