Abstract
A computer implemented method for reconstructing a 3-D volume image using a radiographic imaging system having one or more x-ray sources and a digital detector. A plurality of radiographic images of a subject at various angles are captured in the digital detector. Image data in two or more pixels of the detector that are adjacent to each other in a row direction or a column direction are combined, while pixels adjacent in the other direction are not combined.
