4 The History Johan Radon (1917) showed how a reconstruction from projections was possible. Cormack (1963,1964) introduced Fourier transforms into the reconstruction algorithms. Hounsfield (1972) invented the X-ray Computer scanner for medical work, (which Cormack and Hounsfield shared a Nobel prize). EMI Ltd (1971) announced development of the EMI scanner which combined X-ray measurements and sophisticated algorithms solved by digital computers.
5 Line Integrals and Projections (t) 1 P θ The function P θ ( t ) 1 is known as the Radon transform of the function f(x,. f ( x, y P ( t) θ = ( θ, t ) line f ( x, ds θ x P ( t) = f ( x, ( x cosθ + y sinθ t) dxdy θ x cosθ + y sinθ = t x cosθ + y sinθ = t 1
6 Line Integrals and Projections A projection is formed by combining a set of line integrals. Here the simplest projection, a collection of parallel ray integrals i.e constant θ, is shown. P θ 1 ( t) y A simple diagram showing the fan beam projection P θ 2 ( t) y P θ 1 ( t) P θ 2 ( t) f ( x, f ( x, θ x θ x
7 Fourier Slice Theorem The Fourier slice theorem is derived by taking the one-dimensional Fourier transform of a parallel projection and noting that it is equal to a slice of the two-dimensional Fourier transform of the original object. It follows that given the projection data, it should then be possible to estimate the object by simply performing the 2D inverse Fourier transform. Start by defining the 2D Fourier transform of the object function as F ( u, v) S θ F ( u,0) j 2π ( ux+ v = f ( x, e dxdy Define the projection at angle θ, P θ (t) and its transform by ( w) j 2πwt = Pθ ( t) e dt For simplicity θ=0 which leads to v=0 j πux = f ( x, e 2 dxdy As the phase factor is no-longer dependent on y, the integral can be split. F ( u,0) = F ( u,0) = f ( x, dy e P θ = j 2πux The part in brackets is the equation for a projection along lines of constant x Substituting in P θ = 0( x) = f ( x, dy dx 0 ( x) e F = θ = j 2πux ( u,0) S 0( u) dx Thus the following relationship between the vertical projection and the 2D transform of the object function:
8 P ( t θ 1 ) The Fourier Slice Theorem The Fourier Slice theorem relates the Fourier transform of the object along a radial line. t Collection of projections of an object at a number of angles v y Fourier transform f ( x, θ x v u θ Space Domain Frequency Domain u For the reconstruction to be made it is common to determine the values onto a square grid by linear interpolation from the radial points. But for high frequencies the points are further apart resulting in image degradation.
9 Filtered Back Projection Filtered back projection is the most commonly used algorithm for straight ray tomography. The result of back projecting (a)the ideal Situation (b) Fourier Slice Theorem (c) The filter back projection takes the Fourier Slice and applies a weighting so that it becomes an approximation of that in (a).

11 Measurement of projection data Attenuation of X-rays Assume no loss of intensity of the beam due to divergence, however the beam does attenuate due to photons either being absorbed or scattered by the object. Photoelectric Absorption This consists of an x-ray photon imparting all of its energy to an inner electron of an atom. The electron uses this energy to overcome the binding energy within its shell, and the rest appearing as kinetic energy in this freed electron. Compton Scattering This consists of the interaction of the photon with either the free electron or a loosely bound outer shell electron. As a result the x-ray is deflected from its original direction.
12 Attenuation of X-rays Measurement of projection data Consider N photons cross the lower boundary of this layer in some measured time interval, and N+ N emerge from the top side. ( N will be negative). N follows the relationship, N 1 N x = µ µ=photon loss rate (per unit distance) of the Compton and photoelectric effects. In the limit x goes to zero so we get Solving this across the thickness of the slab N N dn N = µ x 0 0 N( x) = N 0 e 1 ln N ln N = µ dn = µ dx x 0 N dx Where N0 is the number of photons that enter the object. The number of photons as a function of the position within the slab is given by, or µ x
