Comparison of algebraic and analytical approaches to the formulation of the statistical model-based reconstruction problem for x-ray computed tomography

This paper is closely related to a basic medical imaging technique which is called Computed Tomography (CT). In particular, it is concerned with the problem of formulating image reconstruction from projections algorithms, which are the most important things for the development of this technique. When considering the reconstruction methods used in this type of medical imaging, the highly destructive effects of the x-ray radiation used in CT must be taken into account. It is argued that this kind of radiation is harmful to the health of patients being examined because it can lead to many serious illnesses, and this therefore creates a barrier to the development of this x-ray medical imaging technique.
