ABSTRACT:
A method of determining an image data value at a point of reconstruction in a computed tomography (CT) image of a scanned object, including obtaining projection data of the scanned object, filtering the obtained projection data with a one-dimensional ramp filter to generate ramp-filtered data, and applying a backprojection operator with inverse distance weighting to the ramp-filtered data to generate the image data value at the point of reconstruction in the CT image.
