Abstract
A method of reconstructing an (n+1)-dimensional image function ƒ representing a region of investigation comprises determining the image function ƒ from n-dimensional or less dimensional Radon data comprising a plurality of projection functions p(t) measured corresponding to a plurality of predetermined projection directions (Θ), wherein the image function ƒ is determined as a sum of polynomials multiplied with values of the projection functions p(t). Imaging methods, imaging devices, and computer tomography devices using this reconstruction method are described.
