## Error bounds and stability in the $l_{0}$ regularized for CT reconstruction from small projections

Due to the restriction of the scanning environment and the energy of X-ray, few projections of an object can be obtained in some practical applications of computed tomography (CT). In these situations, the projection data are incomplete and inconsistent, and the conventional analytic algorithm such as filtered backprojection (FBP) algorithm will not work. The streak artifacts can be significantly reduced in few-view reconstruction if the total variation minimization (TVM) based CT reconstruction algorithm is used. However, in the premise of preserving the resolution of image, it will not effectively suppress slope artifacts and metal artifacts when dealing with some few-view of the limited-angle reconstruction problems. To solve this problem, we focus on the image reconstruction algorithm base on $\ell_{0}$ regularized of wavelet coefficients. In this paper, the error bound between the reference or desire image and the reconstructed result, and the stability of solution were shown in theoretical and experimental, a reconstruction experiment on metal laths from few-view of the limited-angle projections was given. The experimental results indicate that this algorithm outperforms classical CT reconstruction algorithms in preserving the resolution of reconstructed image and suppressing the metal artifacts.
