Abstract
The majority of image reconstruction algorithms are common to DT and CT, and require reconstruction volume allocation and are based on ray tracing techniques. Reconstructed three-dimensional images become available only after the entire volume is processed and the algorithm completes. The present invention performs reconstruction on a slice-by-slice basis, instead of waiting for completion of the algorithm by back-projecting each pixel in each attenuation image towards the emitter that generated that image, onto a selected reconstruction slice and determining a proportion of overlap with grid cells in the slice to obtain weighting factors in order to calculate an average back-projected intensity for each grid cell in the selected reconstruction slice.
