The Iterative Optimizing Quantization Technique (IOQT) is a novel method in reconstructing three-dimensional images from a limited number of two-dimensional projections. IOQT reduces the artifacts and image distortion due to a limited number of projections and limited range of viewing angles. IOQT, which reduces the number of projections required for reconstruction, can simplify the complexity of an experimental set-up and support the development of techniques to nondestructively image microstructures of materials without the problems of chemical changes or damage. In this paper, we will demonstrate the capability of IOQT in reconstruction of an image from four projections. The advantage of IOQT in using a limited number of arbitrary-angled projections and the possibility of modification of IOQT are also mentioned.
