The authors present a novel fast algorithm for implementing SDSE (slab derived scattered estimation) that reduces computation time by a factor of 16 compared to a direct implementation. Projection data computed with the new algorithm compare well with that from Monte Carlo simulations. When combined with faster computers and iterative reconstruction algorithms that converge rapidly, this fast projector/backprojector pair makes iterative-reconstruction-based scatter compensation feasible
