Abstract

The first theoretically exact reconstruction algorithm for spiral cone-beam CT was proposed in 2002 by Katsevich. One bottleneck of the algorithm is that each projection memory space has to be read for more than once. If there are N voxels on each Π-line and there are S Π-line cover source positions s, then the memory will be accessed up to O(N×S) times. In this paper, we propose an improved backprojection algorithm for Katsevich's formula accompanied with an improved ray traverse algorithm. The proposed ray-driven based algorithm reduces the time read memory down to only once.
