Methods for performing image reconstruction that include deriving background projection data for an area outside a targeted field of view of a tomographic image, and reconstructing the tomographic image of the targeted field of view, wherein the background projection data is used in the reconstruction. Methods for selecting a reconstruction methodology that include determining a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a first reconstruction methodology, determining a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a second reconstruction methodology, comparing the number of pixels for the first reconstruction methodology and the number of pixels for the second reconstruction methodology, and selecting the reconstruction methodology for image reconstruction based on the comparison of the number of pixels. Imaging systems implementing these methods are also provided.
A method for performing image reconstruction, comprising:
A method for selecting a reconstruction methodology, comprising:
An imaging system comprising:
An imaging system comprising:
A computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, for performing image reconstruction, the program constructed and arranged to derive background projection data for an area outside a targeted field of view of a tomographic image and an area inside a scan field of view, and to reconstruct the tomographic image of the targeted field of view by the steps comprising:
A computer program, stored on a computer readable medium, for performing image reconstruction, the program constructed and arranged to determine a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a first reconstruction methodology, to determine a number of pixels in a reconstructed image for a second reconstruction methodology, to compare the number of pixels for the first reconstruction methodology and the number of pixels for the second reconstruction methodology, and to select the reconstruction methodology for image reconstruction based on the comparison of the number of pixels.
