Radon transform and computer tomography

The folder ./applications/radon includes simple C programs (radon.c, inverse_radon.c) for the computation of a fast discrete NFFT-based Radon transform and its inverse. Use the Matlab script file radon.m for a simple demonstration.

The following animation shows, some slices of thorax data. The reconstruction was done with Algorithm 3.3 from the paper ``New Fourier reconstruction algorithms for computerized tomography'' after a rebinning. The autors wish to thank M. Ebert from DKFZ-Heidelberg for giving us the data from Somatom Plus 4 and N. Papenberg (MUL Lübeck) for producing the animation.



The algorithms are implemented by Markus Fenn in ./applications/radon. Related paper are
