Final Report Abstract

We succeeded in presenting the combined reconstruction and image analysis as a valuable tool for reconstruction which allows for better evaluating the information content of reconstructions. In that way even classifications can be applied as a further tool. Both in classical X-ray tomography, now even for the modern cone beam tomography, as well as for other imaging modalities the approach results in very efficient algorithms with many possible and even already realized applications.
