Abstract
A computed tomography method and apparatus conduct a spiral scan of a subject wherein non-uniformities of noise and topical resolution are greatly reduced. A power spectrum S.sub.o for interpolated projections is identified, from which a frequency characteristic H(f,.theta.), of an optimum filter for the projections interpolated from complementary data is determined, with ##EQU1## with .sigma..sub.o.sup.2 being the variance of the quantum noise associated with a projection and w(.theta.) being the spiral weighting.
