Fast filtered backprojection algorithm for low-dose computed tomography

Abstract:
Low-dose computed tomography (CT) can produce noisy images that may contain streaking artifacts. Removal of streaking artifacts normally requires iterative algorithms that model the transmission noise physics. A fast filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm is introduced in this short paper. This algorithm is very simple and effective in removing the streaking artifacts in low-dose CT.

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...
