Abstract

In performing X-ray Computed Tomography two major constraints are the required acquisition time and X-ray dose for the scans. One method of reducing these is to take the scan by moving source and detector in one continuous helix relative to the object, rather than taking several separate circular scans. This Dissertation examines two implementations of the derivatives required for the Katsevich reconstruction algorithm for helical cone beam micro-CT, both the original implementation suggested by Noo et al.[2003] and an alternate formulation proposed by Katsevich[2011]. A new bound on a parameter used by the second formulation is suggested and methods for dealing with practical difficulties when reconstructing real scan data are proposed.
