Figure 1.
For two arbitrary positions (primed and unprimed) of the unit consisting of a point source (spots) and a detector (line) rotating around a centre of rotation, one exemplary measured “ray” is displayed. It enters the volume to be reconstructed at entry point A (or A′) and exits it in point B (or B′). The distance the ray traverses through a particular voxel
provides a simple measurement to compute the contribution of the “ray” to the grey value in voxel
