Abstract
Among other things, computed tomography (CT) systems and/or techniques for generating projections images of an object(s) under examination via a CT system are provided. The projection images of the object may represent a projection of the entire object or merely a portion of the object, such as a slice of the object. A surface about which the projection image is focused is defined and data yielded from a plurality of views of the object is mapped to the surface. In some embodiments, such a mapping comprises mapping data corresponding to a first view and yielded from a first detector cell to a first point on the surface, mapping data corresponding to the first view and yielded from a second detector cell to a second point on the surface, and/or mapping data corresponding to a second view and yielded from the first detector cell to a third point on the surface.
