The Fourier reconstruction of a head section

Shepp, L. A., Logan, B. F.·1974·IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science

Abstract

The Fourier reconstruction may be viewed simply in the spatial domain as the sum of each line integral times a weighting function of the distance from the line to the point of reconstruction. A modified weighting function simultaneously achieves accuracy, simplicity, low computation time, as well as low sensitivity to noise. Using a simulated phantom, the authors compare the Fourier algorithm and a search algorithm. The search algorithm required 12 iterations to obtain a reconstruction of accuracy and resolution comparable to that of the Fourier reconstruction, and was more sensitive to noise. To speed the search algorithm by using fewer interactions leaves decreased resolution in the region just inside the skull which could mask a subdural hematoma.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
