ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a back projector (44) suitable for assisting in the reconstruction of computerized tomography projection data. In particular it provides a fast and universal back projection system which can accomodate virtually any scanner geometry. The back projector (44) is based on an algorithm which involves the scaling of an image matrix pixel location to determine a pointer into a projection data memory (114). A linearization memory (112) contains pointers into a projection data memory (114). The location of the pixel is used to determine the proper location within the linearization memory (112) preferably using a linear interpolation process. The projection data contained in memory (114) is also preferably extracted using a similar interpolation process.
