Abstract
A system for reconstructing image data for a region includes a radiation source and an array of detectors located on opposed sides of the region used to generate scan data for the region from a plurality of diverging radiation beams, i.e., a cone beam. One or more image slices are defined for the region. Each image slice is partitioned into a plurality of image slice segments, and image data are generated for each segment. The image data for the segments are combined to generate image data for the slice.
