Abstract
This paper investigates the application of the shift-variant data loss (SVDL) model in image quality assessment for a state-of-theart reconstruction technique, the weighted total variation (wTV), in limited angle tomography. The SVDL model is used to analyze the acquired frequency information in 2D fan-beam limited angle tomography. The wTV algorithm is applied to reconstruct some specific mathematical phantoms. The experiments show that the reconstructed image quality depends on the relation of the source trajectory and geometric structure of the imaged object, position, shape, size and orientation in particular.
