Inverting the Radon Transform using Summability Kernels

Link to Master’s project

Abstract. We study an inversion technique of the Radon Transform using Summability Kernels and consider the problem of numerically implementing this algorithm. In doing so we investigate the tradeoff between the various analytical and discretization parameters involved and propose a simple framework using recent results in literature for integrating over $mathbb{S}^{n-1}$ to estimate the rate of convergence of our numerical implementation to the analytical inversion technique as well as offer a heuristic in parameter selection which would considerably reduce a brute force search over a large search space. We also discuss how the smoothness of the phantom to be estimated controls the convergence in the numerical inversion algorithm and have numerical experiments to validate our theoretical findings.
