Abstract
A method for interpolating at least one oblique line of response ray representing nuclear image projection data through a rectangular volume and a system for using the method. The method consists of steps of interpolating all the direct rays in a rectangular volume, making a projected ray by projecting the oblique ray onto a surface of the rectangular volume, matching the projected ray to a coinciding interpolated direct ray, shearing the rectangular volume to match the projected ray, and interpolating the oblique ray in the sheared volume.
