Abstract

X-ray CT(Computed Tomography) has been a good modality for non-invasive diagnosis and recently, Conventional CT has been replaced rapidly with Spiral CT in recent. In X-ray CT, spiral scanning has various advantages such as better image quality, reduced scan time (in a single breath-hold), a lower x-ray dose. But, it requires very fast and high performance image processing system to reconstruct slice images from spiral scanning. This paper describes the fast image reconstruction techniques with filtered back projection from the viewpoints of fast algorithm as well as hardware implementation for real-time imaging.
