The Algebraic Reconstruction Technique (ART) is a class of iterative algorithms used in computed tomography. These reconstruct an image from a series of angular projections (a sinogram). Gordon, Bender and Herman first showed its use in image reconstruction; whereas the method is known as Kaczmarz method in numerical linear algebra. ART can be considered as an iterative solver of a system of linear equations. The values of the pixels are considered as variables collected in a vector , and the image process is described by a matrix . The measured angular projections are collected in a vector . Given a real or complex matrix and a real or complex vector , respectively, the method computes an approximation of the solution of the linear systems of equations as in the following formula, : where , is the ''i''-th row of the matrix , is the ''i''-th component of the vector , and is a relaxation parameter. The above formulae gives a simple iteration routine. An advantage of ART over other reconstruction methods (such as filtered backprojection) is that it is relatively easy to incorporate prior knowledge into the reconstruction process.
