A new class of non-Fourier filter/convolving functions has been proposed for the popular convolution back projection algorithm in computerized tomography. The convolver coefficients are evaluated directly by geometric considerations involved in the chordsegment inversion (CSI) algorithm. This CSI filter/convolving function is tested on simulated images representing density ranges encountered in damaged nuclear fuel bundles and two-phase steam-water flows.
