Abstract
The method for generating a resultant image comprises: defining curved slices between a compression plate and a detector, each curved slice having a shape that follows a curvature of the compression plate and/or detector or that represents a transition between the curvatures; reconstructing slice images that lie on the curved slices; generating the resultant image as a slice stack of the slice images; and outputting the resultant image.
