• Abstract: In this study, we introduce a Fourier series-based trainable filter for computed tomography (CT) reconstruction within the filtered backprojection (FBP) framework. This method overcomes the limitation in noise reduction, inherent in conventional FBP methods, by optimizing Fourier series coefficients to construct the filter. This method enables robust performance across different resolution scales and maintains computational efficiency with minimal increment for the trainable parameters compared to other deep learning frameworks. Additionally, we propose Gaussian edge-enhanced (GEE) loss function that prioritizes the $L_1$ norm of high-frequency magnitudes, effectively countering the blurring problems prevalent in mean squared error (MSE) approaches. The model's foundation in the FBP algorithm ensures excellent interpretability, as it relies on a data-driven filter with all other parameters derived through rigorous mathematical procedures. Designed as a plug-and-play solution, our Fourier series-based filter can be easily integrated into existing CT reconstruction models, making it a versatile tool for a wide range of practical applications. Our research presents a robust and scalable method that expands the utility of FBP in both medical and scientific imaging.

  Quadrature Fourier Features (QFF) have gained popularity in recent years due to their improved approximation accuracy and better calibrated uncertainty estimates. A key limitation of QFF is that its performance can suffer from well-known pathologies related to highly oscillatory quadrature. We address this critical issue via a new Trigonometric Quadrature Fourier Feature (TQFF) method, which uses a novel non-Gaussian quadrature rule.
