Abstract
A method and related apparatus (VS) for synthesizing a projection image (S), in particular for use in mammography. It is proposed to compute a weight function from one image volume (V) and is then used to implement a weighted forward projection through another image volume block to compute a synthesized projection image (S) across block (V).
