ABSTRACT:
Images are reconstructed using multi-slice rebinning of raw data to create a stack of two-dimensional data sets. A three-dimensional image is reconstructed slice-by-slice from the data sets and the rebinned data is axially filtered to reduce blurring resulting from the rebinning, the filtering being performed either before or after reconstruction of the three-dimensional image.
