This book is structured to cover the basics of CT: from photon statistics to modern cone-beam systems. However, themain focus of the book is concerned with detailed derivations of reconstruction algorithms in 2D and modern 3D cone-beam systems. A thorough analysis of CT artifacts and a discussion of practical issues, such as dose considerations, provide further insight into modern CT systems. While mainly written for graduate students in biomedical engineering, medical engineering science, medical physics, medicine (radiology), mathematics, electrical engineering, and physics, experienced practitioners in these fields will benefit from this book as well.
