An algorithm has been developed which provides good-quality uniform attenuation compensation for cone-beam reconstruction. This result is an important step towards making cone-beam single-photon-emission computed tomography (SPECT) clinically practical. The algorithm provides adequate compensation for attenuation in a simple uniform cylindrical phantom, and the computational time is short compared to that expected for iterative reconstruction techniques. Also observed are image distortions in some reconstructed slices when the source distribution extends beyond the edge of the cone-beam axial field of view
