Stopping Rules for Algebraic Iterative Reconstruction Methods in Computed Tomography
share
Algebraic models for the reconstruction problem in X-ray computed tomography (CT) provide a flexible framework that applies to many measurement geometries. For large-scale problems we need to use iterative solvers, and we need stopping rules for these methods that terminate the iterations when we have computed a satisfactory reconstruction that balances the reconstruction error and the influence of noise from the measurements. Many such stopping rules are developed in the inverse problems communities, but they have not attained much attention in the CT world. The goal of this paper is to describe and illustrate four stopping rules that are relevant for CT reconstructions.
