Abstract

See full text

One provides (101) fan-beam data via a translate-rotate computed tomography acquisition process and then reconstructs (102) an image from this data without resampling any pixel positions other than to optionally resample pixel positions to compensate for non-uniform translation intervals. These embodiments also provide for reconstructing this image from this data without interpolating any pixel positions other than to optionally interpolate pixel positions as again may be useful to compensate for non-uniform translation intervals.
