Phys. Med. Biol. 47, 2525–2546 2002 we develop a Feldkamp-type algorithm for the reconstruction of a volume of interest VOI from super-short-scan data. With either a circular or spiral scanning locus in our VOI reconstruction scheme, we first estimate fan-beam data from cone-beam data using the popular ‘‘cosine correction’’ scheme, and perform reconstruction based on Noo’s FBP-type fan-beam re- construction. Our proposed algorithm is tested using the three-dimensional 3-D Shepp–Logan phantom. The experimental results show that the new algorithm can be applied to multi-source 4-D CT with significantly superior temporal resolution and temporal consistency relative to the Kat- sevich algorithm, which is the state of the art for exact helical cone-beam reconstruction. © 2004 American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
