Abstract
A method for reconstructing computerized tomographic (CT) images of an object, including: scanning the object with a CT imaging system to acquire views that include measured projections of the object. Additionally, the method applies an iterative algorithm to minimize errors between the measured projections and reprojections of a reconstructed CT image, wherein at each iteration, projection errors become smaller causing the reconstructed CT image to become further refined.
