While we have concentrated on the development of exact triple-source helical CBCT algorithms, we recognize that approximate CBCT algorithms should not be overlooked. As Tang et al. pointed out [44], [45], approximate CBCT algorithms have important merits in practical applications. In reference to the classic and recent ndings on approximate CBCT [21]–[27], [39]–[45], the triple-source FBP algorithms presented in this paper may guide new development of approximate reconstruction algorithms for triple-source CBCT in both helical and circular scanning modes. In conclusion, we have reported a triple-source FBP algorithm for helical CBCT. Our results allow exact and efcient image reconstruction with ultra-high temporal resolution. With adequate parallel computing hardware, our proposed triple-source FBP approach would run much faster than the BPF counterpart. Therefore, the triple-source FBP algorithm should be a good choice for practical helical CBCT. Our simulation results have veried our formulation, demonstrating excellent image quality. Finally, we have extended our work -source helical CBCT to inspire or into the case of facilitate development of CT and micro-CT systems along this multi-source direction.For instance, if the three X-ray sources are symmetrically arranged, the three helices would be equally spaced. Thus the phases of the helices are (30) Then, for the inter-helix PI-line between and rotation angles at the intersection points should satisfy , the(31) The inter-helix PI-lines for -source can be dened in the same way.
