Inverse Radon-Transform

The Radon transform is a mathematical mapping that has important applications in medical physics. It describes the raw data measured during an X-Ray or computed tomography (so-called sinograms).
The inverse Radon transform (IRT for short; sometimes also called filtered backprojection) allows to reconstruct the original image from the sinogram and is the key ingredient in obtaining high-quality X-Ray or CT images. A MATLAB function that automatically computes the IRT of an image is openly available on my GitHub page. See also my other post for more on this topic.
