Abstract

We present a novel backprojection algorithm for three-dimensional (3-D) radon transform data that requires O(N3 log2 N) operations for reconstruction of an N x N x N volume from O(N2) plane-integral projections. Our algorithm uses a hierarchical decomposition of the 3-D radon transform to recursively decompose the backprojection operation. Simulations are presented demonstrating reconstruction quality comparable to the standard filtered backprojection, which requires O(N5) computations under the same circumstances.
