ABSTRACT:
A method and computer readable medium for generating a reconstructed volumetric image from projection image data acquired from an imaging system is provided. The method comprises accessing a plurality of projection image data and generating one or more weight maps from the projection image data. The reconstructed volumetric images are then generated from the weight maps and at least one of the plurality of projection image data and a plurality of processed projection image data derived from the plurality of projection image data.
