Abstract

The presented paper describes a parallel realization of an approach to the reconstruction problem for 3D spiral x-ray tomography. The reconstruction problem is formulated taking into consideration the statistical properties of signals obtained by x-ray CT and the analytical methodology of image processing. The concept shown here significantly accelerates calculations performed during iterative reconstruction process in the formulated algorithm. Computer simulations have been performed which prove that the reconstruction algorithm described here, does indeed significantly outperform conventional analytical methods in the quality of the images obtained.
