Discretization Models and the System Matrix

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterEducation

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe how the tomography problem can be represented on a computer such that we—in later chapters—can perform numerical computations to analyze and solve the reconstruction problem. This process is called discretization, and it is applied to the object under study as well as to the forward- and back-projections. We focus on the 2D parallel-beam geometry and the Radon transform, but the ideas extend to other geometries and 3D problems in a straightforward way.
