Abstract
A method, system, and computer readable medium to compensate for consecutive missing views in Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction. By utilizing at least one complementary ray from a previous or subsequent view, the missing view(s) can be filled in. When plural complementary rays exist, a linear or non-linear combination of rays can be used to fill in the missing views, and the weights used in the combination may be smoothed to prevent over-emphasis of the replacement views.
