ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a three-dimensional digital x-ray image by using digital x-ray images taken of the object from at least two different directions as input for a reconstruction algorithm. In the method, at least one of the images used as input is taken as a tomosynthetic slice image of a region of interest (5) in the object (3) of imaging.
