Abstract
Multiple sets of projection data are provided for respective ones of a first set of volumes. An initial image is generated for a second volume larger than each volume in the first set of volumes. Based on at least the initial image and the sets of projection data, an image of the second volume is reconstructed using multiple iterations of a single iterative reconstruction process.
