ABSTRACT:
A method for reconstructing cone-beam projection data is provided. The method comprises scanning an object in helical mode, wherein the scanning comprises obtaining cone-beam projection data. The method further comprises processing the cone-beam projection data along a plurality of data filtering curves. The processing includes processing the cone-beam projection data along a portion of the data filtering curves that extends outside of a physical detector area to a virtual detector area. Then, the method comprises using the processed cone-beam projection data in the generation of a reconstructed image of the object.
