Abstract

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technique is largely used in medical diagnostic imaging and nondestructive materials testing, especially in cases which require fast times and high accuracy level. In this paper, the pros and cons of Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) and simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT) algorithms used in CBCT technique is studied. The method of simulating CBCT systems is also used to provide richer projection data, which helps the research to evaluate many aspects of algorithms.
