Abstract. Discrete tomography deals with the reconstruction of images from projections collected along a few given directions. Different approaches can be considered, according to different models. In this paper we adopt the grid model, where pixels are lattice points with integer coordinates, X-rays are discrete lattice lines, and projections are obtained by counting the number of lattice points intercepted by X-rays taken in the assigned directions. We move from a theoretical result that allows uniqueness of reconstruction in the grid with just four suitably selected X-ray directions. In this framework, the structure of the allowed ghosts is studied and described. This leads to a new result, stating that the unique binary solution can be explicitly and exactly retrieved from the minimum Euclidean norm solution by means of a rounding method based on some special entries, which are precisely determined. A corresponding iterative algorithm has been implemented, and tested on a few phantoms having different characteristics and structure.
