Talk:Tomographic reconstruction

Don't you think that Radon's transformation is just one of methods used in tomographic reconstruction? Saigon from europe 21:28, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Radon Transform simply describes the physical process in mathematical terms. Reconstruction means solving for f inside the integral in the Radon Transform. It is unusual to use Radon's Inverse Transform to do this, for the reasons given in the article, hence many other methods are available. Some of these other methods rely on the relationship of the Radon Transform with other mathematical transformations, such as the Fourier Transform, and other methods rely or linear algebra, and (many more methods).
