A comparative study of three reconstruction methods for a limited-view computer tomography problem
Abstract:
Three novel methods are used to reconstruct a simulated image from a set of incomplete data spanning a 160 degrees angular range. These methods are the squashing affine transformation of J.A. Reeds and L.A. Shepp (1987), the circular interpolation method derived from the theory of J.J. Clark, M.R. Plamer, and P.D. Lawrence (1985), and the geometry-free reconstruction using the theory of convex projections. These methods are briefly explained, and their reconstructions are compared for the case of limited angular views.

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...
