Abstract
We present a convolutional spline framework for highly efficient and accurate computation of forward model for image reconstruction in fan-beam geometry in X-ray computed tomography. The efficiency of computations makes this framework suitable for large-scale optimization algorithms with on-the-fly, memory-less, computations of the forward and back-projection. Our experiments demonstrate the improvements in accuracy as well as efficiency of our model, specifically for first-order box splines (i.e., pixel-basis) compared to recently developed methods for this purpose, namely Look-up Table-based Ray Integration (LTRI) and Separable Footprints (SF) in 2-D.
