This is called a sinogram The sinogram is what is measured by a CT machine. The real trick is how do we reconstruct the unknown image from the sinogram data?

Back Projection Method A little trick that almost works! Object
Back Projection Method A little trick that almost works! Object We do this for every angle and then add together all the back projected images
Back Projection Method Step #1: Generate a complete an image for each projection (e. g. for each angle q) These are called back projected images Step #2: Add all the back projected images together
Back Projection Method Original object Reconstructed object Kind of worked but we need to do better than this. Need to come up with a better reconstruction algorithm.
Projection-Slice Theorem This is a very important theorem in CT imaging First take the 1 D Fourier transform a projection g(l, q)

The Fourier Reconstruction Method 2 D IFT q f(x, y) qo F(u, v) Take projections at all angles q. Take 1 D FT of each projection to build F(u, v) one slice at a time. Take the 2 D inverse FT to reconstruct the original object based on F(u, v)
Image Reconstruction Using Filtered Backprojection Filter Backprojection
Filtered Back Projection The Fourier method is not widely used in CT because of the computational issues with creating the 2 D FT from projections. However, the method does lead to a popular technique called filtered back projection. In polar coordinates the inverse Fourier transform can be written as with

• • Incorporated linear array of 30 detectors More data acquired to improve image quality (600 rays x 540 views) Shortest scan time was 18 seconds/slice Narrow fan beam allows more scattered radiation to be detected
• • Number of detectors increased substantially (to more than 800 detectors) Angle of fan beam increased to cover entire patient – Eliminated need for translational motion Mechanically joined x-ray tube and detector array rotate together Newer systems have scan times of ½ second

Ring artifacts • The rotate/rotate geometry of 3 rd generation scanners leads to a situation in which each detector is responsible for the data corresponding to a ring in the image • Drift in the signal levels of the detectors over time affects the t values that are backprojected to produce the CT image, causing ring artifacts
Ring artifacts
• • Designed to overcome the problem of ring artifacts Stationary ring of about 4, 800 detectors
• • Designed to overcome the problem of ring artifacts Stationary ring of about 4, 800 detectors
• • Developed specifically for cardiac tomographic imaging No conventional x -ray tube; large arc of tungsten encircles patient and lies directly opposite to the detector ring Electron beam steered around the patient to strike the annular tungsten target Capable of 50 msec scan times; can produce fastframe-rate CT movies of the beating heart
• • Helical CT scanners acquire data while the table is moving By avoiding the time required to translate the patient table, the total scan time required to image the patient can be much shorter Allows the use of less contrast agent and increases patient throughput In some instances the entire scan be done within a single breath-hold of the patient
Computer Assignment 1. Write a MATLAB program that reconstructs an image from its projections using the back projection method. Your program should allow the user to input a phantom object and a set (e. g. vector) of projection angle. Your program should then: (a) compute the sinogram of the object (you can use Matlab’s radon. m command to do this), (b) compute the reconstructed image from the sinogram and vector of projection angles, (c) try your program out for several different objects and several different ranges of projection angles 2. Do the same as #1 using the filter back projection method. 3. (grad students only) Do the same with the convolution back projection method
