Multichannel sampling and the third generation undersampling problem in fan-beam tomography

Steve Izen

Abstract: After a brief introduction to sampling on lattices, the theory of multichannel sampling will be developed. The sampling requirements for parallel and fan-beam tomography will be described. The undersampling inherent when a third generation detector is used to acquire data will be introduced. Multichannel sampling on lattices will be applied to in the context of fan-beam geometry to correct for the undersampling, allowing reconstruction at the full bandwidth consistent with the hardware.
