ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reconstructing an image of an object using a three dimensional (3D) computerized tomographic (CT) imager having a cone beam radiation source and detector arrangement for acquiring measurement data. Before the acquisition of measurement data during an imaging operation of the apparatus, image reconstruction processing information dependant on the geometric parameters of the imager and required for processing of the acquired measurement data for developing contributions to the final reconstruction of the image, is pre-calculated and stored. During an imaging operation of the apparatus, the acquired measurement data is processed using the pre-calculated image reconstruction processing information for reconstructing the image.
