In this paper, we formulate a reconstruction algorithm for an n-Pi acquisition, where n can be any positive odd integer. The algorithm is a generalization of the method presented in (Bontus et al. 2003). It is based on the results obtained by Katsevich (2004). For the algorithm, different sets of filter-lines have to be defined. We describe the variation of these lines along the detector in some detail, before we discuss, how the method gives all Radon-plane contributions the correct weighting. The different sets of filter-lines are all contained within the n-Pi window, such that a practical realization is possible. Reconstruction results, which we present in the final section, show convincing image quality.
