| abstract |
Disclosed are methods for reconstructing a three-dimensional image of an object's volume of interest using computed tomography that employs conical-beam, intensity-modulated projections of this object. In one embodiment, a plurality of collimating devices serves to modulate the aperture of the radiation source thereby acting to modulate the intensity of the source upon the object. Also provided are image processing devices, examination apparatus, as well as a computer-readable medium and a program element adapted and configured to perform aspects of the methods disclosed herein. |
