Abstract
Approaches are described for generating an initial reconstruction of CT data acquired using a wide-cone system. In one implementation, frequency data may be patched in to a first scan, such as an axial scan, from a second scan, such as a helical scan. In one embodiment, an initial reconstruction may be processed (such as via a non-linear operation) to correct frequency omissions and/or errors in the reconstruction. Corrected frequency information may be utilized to improve the reconstructed image.
