Preface
The first time I heard about image reconstruction was twenty years ago I came to the University of Utah as a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Radiology. Dr. Grant Gullberg and Dr. Rolf Clackdoyle gave many lectures on image reconstruction and I took notes. Even today I still go back to those notes from time to time. I benefit from those notes significantly. This book is complied together with parts of those notes and some current research papers with most mathematical proofs removed. I am grateful to Dr. Gullberg and Dr. Clackdoyle for introducing me to the wonderful world of image reconstruction. I appreciate Dr. Michel Defrise, Dr. Ge Wang, and Dr. Guang-Hong Chen for their helpful suggestions. I also like to thank my colleagues in the department and in other institutions. I would especially like to thank Kathy Gullberg and Jacob Piatt for proof-reading the drafts. This tutorial text introduces the classical and modern image reconstruction technologies to the general audience. It covers the topics in twodimensional (2D) parallel-beam and fan-beam imaging, three-dimensional (3D) parallel ray, parallel plane, and cone-beam imaging. Both analytical and iterative methods are presented. The applications in X-ray CT, SPECT (single photon emission computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are also discussed. Contemporary research results in exact RO
