The system () comprises means () providing projection data acquired by an imaging unit, like a CT system, with an FOV, means () generating estimated image data indicative of a part of an object () located outside the FOV (), means () estimating virtual projection data based on virtual settings of a virtual imaging unit comprising a virtual FOV, means () generating fused projection data by fusing the provided projection data with the virtual projection data, and means () reconstructing a final image. This allows basing the reconstruction on a complete set of projection information for the object and thus providing an image with a high image quality.
