ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for quickly and efficiently producing ECT (emission computed tomography) images corrected at least in part for attenuation in which a plurality of stored attenuation coefficients are used directly in the projection and back projection operations which produce the ECT image. The evaluation of attentuation factors as needed during the course of projection and back projection avoids the need for precalculation and storage of attenuation factors, thus achieving the reasonably fast reconstruction times needed for efficient diagnostic imaging.
