Abstract
A CT system includes a gantry having a rotatable base and having an opening for receiving an object to be scanned, an x-ray source, a CT detector, and a computer programmed to detect a mis-registration at a slab boundary between a first slab and a second slab of a reconstructed image, quantify an amount of mis-registration at the slab boundary, and adjust the reconstructed image at the slab boundary based on the quantification.
