ABSTRACT:
A method for obtaining data useful for reconstructing an image of an object includes performing a cone beam helical Computed Tomography (CT) scan of an object to obtain projection data from a plurality of detector rows, and interpolating the obtained projection data to generate interpolated data along at least one curve that crosses at least two detector rows.
