Abstract

A new reconstruction algorithm for Radon data is introduced. We call the new algorithm OPED as it is based on Orthogonal Polynomial Expansion on the Disk. OPED is fundamentally different from the filtered back projection (FBP) method. It allows one to use fan beam geometry directly without any additional procedures such as interpolation or rebinning. It reconstructs high degree polynomials exactly and works for smooth functions without the assumption that functions are band- limited. Our initial tests indicate that the algorithm is stable, provides high resolution images, and has a small global error. Working with the geometry specified by the algorithm and a new mask, OPED could also lead to a reconstruction method that works with reduced x-ray dose (see the paper by Tischenko et al in these proceedings).
