Improvements of FDK-type helical cone-beam CT imaging by Liang, Hong Zhu

“…The modern FDK-type algorithms suffer from two main limitations of the data collection: the cone-shaped projection volume and the helical scanning pitch. Once the cone-beam angle becomes relatively large or the helical scanning is relatively fast, the artifacts would unavoidably appear on the images reconstructed by the existing FDK-type algorithms. …”
