Claim One:
1. A computer-accessible medium having executable instructions capable of directing a processor to perform: applying a first set of corrective measures to a plurality of two-dimensional images; reconstructing a three-dimensional image of an object from the plurality of two-dimensional projection images, the reconstructing including: pre-filtering the plurality of two-dimensional projection images in reference to a first group of settings that are not the first set of corrective measures and that are optimized to provide a first extent of emphasis on at least one structure of interest in the object; back-projecting the filtered two-dimensional projection images into the three-dimensional image; and post-filtering the three-dimensional image in reference to a second group of settings that are optimized to provide a second extent of emphasis on the at least one structure of interest in the object that is synergistic with the first extent of emphasis; and applying a second set of corrective measures to the three-dimensional image, wherein the second set of corrective measures are not the second group of settings.
