Abstract

We present a new fast backprojection algorithm for CT fan-beam reconstruction. The new algorithm operates directly on fan-beam data without prior rebinning to parallel-beam projections. The algorithm reduces the computational complexity from O(N3) for the traditional fan-beam algorithm to O(N2 log N). Simulations demonstrate speedups of greater than 50-fold for a 512 × 512 image, with no perceivable degradation in accuracy. The algorithm also applies to multi-slice helical 3D reconstruction, and extends to 3D cone-beam reconstruction.
