ABSTRACT:
A method for reconstructing three-dimensional (3D) tomographic images. A set of pseudo-projection images of an object is acquired. Error corrections are applied to the set of pseudo-projection images to produce a set of corrected pseudo-projection images. The set of corrected pseudo-projection images are processed to produce (3D) tomographic images.
