	%X As the Computed Tomography(CT) requires normally
hundreds of projections to reconstruct the image, patients are exposed
to more X-ray energy, which may cause side effects such as cancer.
Even when the variability of the particles in the object is very less,
Computed Tomography requires many projections for good quality
reconstruction. In this paper, less variability of the particles in an
object has been exploited to obtain good quality reconstruction.
Though the reconstructed image and the original image have same
projections, in general, they need not be the same. In addition
to projections, if a priori information about the image is known,
it is possible to obtain good quality reconstructed image. In this
paper, it has been shown by experimental results why conventional
algorithms fail to reconstruct from a few projections, and an efficient
polynomial time algorithm has been given to reconstruct a bi-level
image from its projections along row and column, and a known sub
image of unknown image with smoothness constraints by reducing the
reconstruction problem to integral max flow problem. This paper also
discusses the necessary and sufficient conditions for uniqueness and
extension of 2D-bi-level image reconstruction to 3D-bi-level image
reconstruction.
