Abstract
A system and method of computed tomography is disclosed. The method includes acquiring at least one projection but less than all projections to be used in reconstruction of an unknown object and processing the at least one projection for reconstruction of the unknown object. After processing each projection is discarded. Projections are acquired until all projections have been processed. An estimate of the unknown object may be generated during the processing of each of the projections.
