Output Validation of an Image Reconstruction Algorithm

A framework for output validation of an image reconstruction algorithm. The framework receives original input data and reconstructed image data generated by the image reconstruction algorithm based on the original input data. Analytical forward projection is performed on the reconstructed image data to generate an algorithmic version of the original input data. The original input data and the algorithmic version of the original input data are applied as input to a likeness discriminator to generate a validation value that validates the image reconstruction algorithm.
