Show affiliationsIn this paper we continue studying a theoretically exact filtered backprojection inversion formula for cone beam spiral CT proposed earlier by the author. Our results show that if the phantom f is constant along the axial direction, the formula is equivalent to the 2D Radon transform inversion. Also, the inversion formula remains exact as spiral pitch goes to zero and in the limit becomes again the 2D Radon transform inversion formula. Finally, we show that according to the formula the processed cone beam projections should be backprojected using both the inverse distance squared law and the inverse distance law.
