A new algorithm for reconstructing a two dimensional object from a set of one dimensional projected views is presented that is both computationally exact and experimentally practical. The algorithm has a computational complexity of O(n log2 n) with n = N^2 for an NxN image, is robust in the presence of noise and produces no artefacts in the reconstruction process, as is the case with conventional tomographic methods. The reconstruction process is approximation free because the object is assumed to be discrete and utilizes fully discrete Radon transforms. Noise in the projection data can be suppressed further by introducing redundancy in the reconstruction. The number of projections required for exact reconstruction and the response to noise can be controlled without comprising the digital nature of the algorithm. The digital projections are those of the Mojette Transform, a form of discrete linogram. A simple analytical mapping is developed that compacts these projections exactly into symmetric periodic slices within the Discrete Fourier Transform. A new digital angle set is constructed that allows the periodic slices to completely fill all of the objects Discrete Fourier space. Techniques are proposed to acquire these digital projections experimentally to enable fast and robust two dimensional reconstructions.
