Abstract
Computational burden is a major concern when an iterative algorithm is used to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3-D) image with attenuation, detector response, and scatter corrections. Most of the computation time is spent executing the projector and backprojector of an iterative algorithm. Usually, the projector and the backprojector are transposed operators of each other. The projector should model the imaging geometry and physics as accurately as possible. Some researchers have used backprojectors that are computationally less expensive than the projectors to reduce computation time. This paper points out that valid backprojectors should satisfy a condition that the projector/backprojector matrix must not contain negative eigen-values. This paper also investigates the effects when unmatched projector/backprojector pairs are used.Mesh：
