Proposed is a theoretically exact formula for inversion of data obtained by a spiral computed tomography scan with a two-dimensional detector array. The detector array is supposed to be of limited extent in the axial direction. The main property of the formula is that it can be implemented in a truly filtered backprojection fashion. First, one performs shift-invariant filtering of a derivative of the cone beam projections, and, second, the result is back-projected in order to form an image. Compared with an earlier reconstruction algorithm proposed by the author, the new one is two times faster, requires a smaller detector array, and does not impose restrictions on how big the patient is inside the gantry. Results of numerical experiments are presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
