An FFT based Fast Reconstruction Algorithm for 3D Computed Tomography

Abhishek Mitra, Swapna Banerjee

Abstract



An FFT based parallel reconstruction algorithm is proposed for Spiral/helical CT where the sinogram data of a 3D object is collected by convolving it with 2D line and function that results in a simple 3D reconstruction algorithm, which possesses high level of regularity and concurrency in its computational flow. The 3D object has also been split into two angular parts (with respect to X-Y axes) to avoid the signal aliasing effect in the collected sinogram data. It has been found that the quality of the reconstructed images is quite comparable to that of the existing reconstruction algorithm when applied to Helical/Spiral CT system.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
