An Evolutionary Approach to CT Image Reconstruction *

There is presented an evolutionary approach to the problem of CT image reconstruc tion: a genetic algorithm is used to reconstruct a CT image from a limited number of projection data, where conventional methods (e.g. Algebraic Reconstruction Techniques ART) solution tends to be unsatisfactory. We use traditional as well as adapted genetic operators in our evolutionary ap proach to the CT image reconstruction problem. The genetic algorithm yielded good results that challenge the conventional ART.
