Fourier-based forward and back-projection methods can reduce computation in iterative tomographic image reconstruction. Recently, an optimized nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) approach was shown to yield accurate parallel-beam projections. In this paper, we extend the NUFFT approach to describe an O (N2 log N) projector/backprojector pair for fan-beam transmission tomography. Simulations and experiments with real CT data show that fan-beam Fourier-based forward and back-projection methods can reduce computation for iterative reconstruction while still providing accuracy comparable to their O (N3) space-based counterparts.
