Abstract

Image reconstruction of dynamically deforming objects from projections and known time-dependent motion field is of interest for x-ray computed tomography. Recently, three analytical exact methods have been developed based on DFBP or DBPF algorithms which compensates for time-dependent standard affine or relaxed affine transformation [1-3]. In contrast, an empirical algorithm has been proposed by Schafer, et ah, which merely "trace" the motion of each voxel during the backprojection process [4, 5]. The method is known to be an approximation; however, it has not been discussed how good or bad the level of approximation is. In this paper, we present that a slightly modified Schafer's method (FBPx) is exact if the motion of the object can be described by a class of time-dependent affine transformation-isotropic scaling (contraction and expansion), rotation, and translation. We show mathematically and experimentally that Schafer's method is a good approximation.
