Claim One:
1. An imaging apparatus for imaging an object of interest, the imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging device that detects at least one of x-ray or gamma radiation and generates electronic detection data that is indicative of the object of interest, and an image generation computer device that includes: an analytical reconstruction processor that analytically reconstructs an analytical image of the object in electronic format from the electronic detection data, an iterative reconstruction processor that iteratively reconstructs an iterative image of the object in electronic format from the electronic detection data, and a combination processor, including: a first filter that low-pass filters the analytical image generating a low pass filtered analytical image, a second filter that high-pass filters the iterative image generating a high-pass filtered iterative image, and a combiner that combines the low pass filtered analytical image and the high-pass filtered iterative image generating a combination filtered image of the object in the electronic format.
