Neural networks have some applications in computerized tomography, in particular to reconstruct an image from projections. The presented paper describes a new practical approach to the reconstruction problem using a Hopfield-type neural network. The methodology of this reconstruction algorithm resembles a transformation formula—the so-called ρ-filtered layergram method. The method proposed in this work is adapted for discrete fan beam projections, already used in practice. Performed computer simulations show that the neural network reconstruction algorithm designed to work in this way outperforms conventional methods in obtained image quality, and in perspective of hardware implementation in the speed of the reconstruction process.
