This revised and updated second edition - now with two new chapters - is the only book to give
a comprehensive overview of computer algorithms for image reconstruction. It covers the
fundamentals of computerized tomography including all the computational and mathematical
procedures underlying data collection image reconstruction and image display. Among the new
topics covered are: spiral CT fully 3D positron emission tomography the linogram mode of
backprojection and state of the art 3D imaging results. It also includes two new chapters on
comparative statistical evaluation of the 2D reconstruction algorithms and alternative
approaches to image reconstruction.
