Medical Imaging and NMR Principles: A Comprehensive Guide

1. Medical Imaging Principles

1.1 Filtered Backprojection and Radon Filter

When a projection is convoluted with the Radon filter, the filtered backprojection has both positive and negative parts. When projections taken at different angles are summed, cells that contribute no signal to the projection end up with no reconstructed intensity, ignoring noise effects. Temporary finite contributions back - projected at one angle are cancelled by equal and opposite contributions from other angles.

1.2 Practical Filters

• Ideal vs. Real Data : For perfect, noise - free X - ray projection data, the full ramp filter (R(xc)) is best as it gives an exact result
