Claim One:
1. A reconstruction method, comprising: performing an analytic image reconstruction or other non-computationally intensive techniques on all or part of a set of projection data and deriving a set of low frequency components from the analytic image reconstruction or other non-computationally intensive techniques, wherein the set of low frequency components comprise a limited subset of the total frequency components of the set of projection data; performing an iterative image reconstruction and deriving at least a set of high frequency components from the iterative image reconstruction, wherein the set of high frequency components comprises a limited subset of the total frequency components of the set of projection data, wherein the set of low frequency components are used as a regularizer for the iterative image reconstruction, and wherein the analytic image reconstruction or other non-computationally intensive technique and the iterative image reconstruction are performed independent of and in parallel to one another; and using the set of low frequency components and the set of high frequency components to generate an output image.
