A method includes designating a target with a first and second dimension. An x-ray beam is projected onto at least a portion of the target. The x-ray beam has an origin with a position along the first dimension. The x-ray beam also has a beam axis, a projection area, and an angle ∅ representative of an angular distance between the beam axis and the at least a portion of the target. The method further includes varying the angle ∅ based at least in part on the position of the origin along the first dimension. The angle ∅ is varied to substantially maintain the projection area.

摘要： Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which a specialized back-projection process reconstructs a finely detailed and crisp three-dimensional image (3-D) from a series of two-dimensional (2-D) images by pre-filtering the 2-D images with a first group of settings before back-projecting the 2-D images into a 3-D image, and then post-filtering the 3-D image with another group of settings. In some embodiments, the first group of settings and the second group of settings are synergistically optimized in relation to each other to provide emphasis on a structure of interest in the object.
