Description

X-rays passing through the beating heart, metal or bone can create errors in standard computer tomographic scans of the organs around these objects. Therefore, an inversion algorithm is proposed for circular excluded regions that reconstructs the organs around the heart or metal without using the X-rays that create the error. The mathematical formalism is represented based on the inversion of the exterior radon transform and the null space of this transform
