Normally, a cross section of bone is
reconstructed from a series of X-ray radiograph taken at different angle.
The digitized scanned lines from each radiograph, served as the projection,
are used by the filtered-backprojection technique. The cross-sectional
image is very useful for diagnosis. However, when the number of X-ray
radiograph is limited by over-irradiated problem, the reconstruction from
the filtered-backprojection technique give an error and star artifact.
In this research, the algebraic formulations, such as ART, SIRT, and SART,
are applied with the limited views of X-ray radiograph. Comparing the
quality of reconstruction, the results have shown the superior of the
proposed method over the filtered-backprojection technique while the computation
time is quite extensive.
