Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 6:
7. A medical imaging method, comprising:
reconstructing, with a short-scan reconstructor, redundancy weighted cone beam projection data to generate initial short scan cone beam volumetric image data, wherein the initial short scan cone beam volumetric image data includes the cone beam artifact;
combining, with a combiner, the initial short scan cone beam volumetric image data and correction/cone beam artifact volumetric image data to generate cone beam artifact corrected short scan cone beam volumetric image data;
applying a redundancy weight to the cone beam projection data to generate the redundancy weighted cone beam projection data; and
filtering, with a spatially variant 3-D filter, the cone beam volumetric image data based on the redundancy weight to generate the correction/cone beam artifact volumetric image data.
