Abstract
We propose new variants of the Discrete Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (DART) with a combined filtering technique. We also set up a test framework to investigate the influence of the filters for different number of sources and noise level in case of various parameters. Our results are produced by performing numerous reconstructions on the test data set. The reconstructed images were evaluated by locally using relatives mean error (RME) and globally by an ordered ranking system. The achievements are subjected and discussed. Finally we also suggest a filter parameter combination which gives a way to improve the quality of the DART reconstruction algorithm.
