ABSTRACT:
An x-ray computed tomography system for helically scanning a patient translates the patient as projections of the patient at various beam angles are obtained. The projection data are weighted prior to reconstruction to account for multiply measured projection data and the deviation of the cone beam from a parallel beam approximation.
