Iterative image reconstruction for CT with unmatched projection matrices using the generalized minimal residual algorithm

Medical Physics 2022-05-04 v2

Abstract

The generalized minimal residual (GMRES) algorithm is applied to image reconstruction using linear computed tomography (CT) models. The GMRES algorithm iteratively solves square, non-symmetric linear systems and it has practical application to CT when using unmatched back-projector/projector pairs and when applying preconditioning. The GMRES algorithm is demonstrated on a 3D CT image reconstruction problem where it is seen that use of unmatched projection matrices does not prevent convergence, while using an unmatched pair in the related conjugate gradients for least-squares (CGLS) algorithm leads to divergent iteration. Implementation of preconditioning using GMRES is also demonstrated.
