ABSTRACT:
A method for reconstructing an image of an object includes scanning the object with a computed tomography (CT) system to obtain data, estimating a size of the object using the obtained data, using the estimated size of the object to perform scatter correction on the obtained data, and reconstructing an image using the scatter corrected data.
