Abstract
A system and method of x-ray imaging includes obtaining a plurality of x-ray projection images of a patient. At least one object in the plurality of x-ray projection images is identified. A priori information of the identified at least one object is obtained. A three dimensional volume is reconstructed from the plurality of x-ray projection images. The a priori information is used to refine the acquisition of x-ray projection images or presentation of the three dimensional volume.
