Distribution of Lectures:

• Approximately 30 lectures cover the physics and mathematics of CT and 10 lectures are devoted to engineering a aspects of CT scanners

Books:

1. Image Reconstruction from Projections: The Fundamentals of Computerized. Tomography, by G.T. Herman
2. The Mathematics of Computerized Tomography, by F. Natterer.

• In addition 10 papers (IITK work, published during 1991-2000) are used as text for the error analysis part which is not available currently in any text book.

Proposed by:
