A breast CT simulation using linear attenuation coefficients for a 50 keV mono-energetic X-ray beam. The noise level is typical for prototype breast CT scanners. Shown are FBP reconstructions with a ramp filter and the same image after smoothing by a Gaussian of FWHM of 0.8 pixels. The FBP images serve to indicate visually the noise level inherent in the data.
