Abstract

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables a volumetric image reconstruction from 2D projection data. In CBCT reconstruction, iterative methods of image reconstruction offer the potential to generate high quality images and would be an advantage especially for sparse data sets. CBCT image reconstruction software has been developed based on Multi-Instrument Data Analysis System (MIDAS) tomography toolbox. In this paper, we present a comparative study of SIRT and ART algorithms, developed in MIDAS platform. The results will be shown using phantom and clinical patient data.
