Filtered Back Projection
Filtered backprojection Filter the measured projection data at different projection angles with a special function. Backproject the filtered projection data to form the reconstructed image. Filtering can be implemented in 2 ways, in the spatial domain, the filter operation is equivalent to to convolving the measured projection data using a special convolving function h(t) More efficient multiplication will be in the spatial frequency domain. FFT the measured projection data into the frequency domain: p(, )=FT {p(t, ) Multiply the the fourier transform projections with the special function. Inverse Fourier transform the product p ’ (, ).
