Abstract
A method for reconstructing an image from imaging data using an imaging system configured to accept input from an imaging system operator. The method includes steps of generating a first model from the imaging data; accepting as input an operator-specified region of interest based on the first model; and generating a second model from the imaging data based on the specified region of interest. This method simplifies entry of parameters for retrospective image reconstruction by using the operator-entered region of interest as input for automated parameter selection.
