Abstract

Among iterative image reconstruction algorithms for computed tomography (CT), it is known that the power multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (PMART) has a good property for convergence speed and maximization of entropy. In this paper, we investigate an extended PMART, which is a dynamical class for accelerating the convergence. The convergence process of the state in the neighborhood of the true reconstructed image can be reduced to the property of a fixed point observed in the dynamical system. For investigating convergence speed, we present a computational method of obtaining parameter sets in which a given real or absolute value of the characteristic multiplier is equal. The advantage of the extended PMART is verified by comparing with the standard multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) using numerical experiments.
