Abstract

A method is provided for iteratively reconstructing an image of an object. The method includes accessing measurement data associated with the image, and using a simultaneous algorithm to reconstruct the image. Using the simultaneous algorithm to reconstruct the image includes determining a scaling factor that is voxel-dependent, and applying the voxel-dependent scaling factor to a gradient of an objective function to reconstruct the image.
