<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m wondering whether the reconstruction results I get with SART and FDK are normal or not. I’ve performed reconstructions of a moving Shepp and Logan phantom, using 308 projections equidistributed on a 360° circular
trajectory. The phantom is fully contained in the FOV. I’ve used the default projection and back projection operators for both SART (30 iterations of SART instead of the default 5) and FDK. And there are very noticeable differences outside the FOV, especially
at the edges of the projection cone, where SART produces high errors while FDK doesn’t.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Is this a normal behavior ? I’m using these reconstructions to initialize an iterative algorithm, and my real data is truncated, so I’d prefer to use SART than FDK. These high errors outside the FOV make me hesitate,
though. </span></p>
