SYSTEM, METHOD AND COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING A PANORAMIC CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT)
First Claim
1. A method for providing at least one particular projection image associated with at least one target, comprising:
- at a plurality of locations of at least one source arrangement;
acquiring a plurality of panoramic projection images associated with at least one target, at least two of the panoramic projection images being obtained at view angles which are different from one another;
stitching or combining the panoramic projection images together; and
generating the at least one particular projection image using a computed tomography procedure based on the stitched or combined projection images that are generated at the plurality of location.

Abstract
Exemplary devices, procedures and computer-readable mediums for providing a projection image associated with at least one target. The projection image can be formed from a plurality of locations of a source arrangement. At each source location, a plurality of panoramic projection images associated with a target can be acquired. At least two of the panoramic projection images can be obtained at view angles which are different from one another. These panoramic projection images can be stitched together or otherwise combined. A resulting image can then be generated using a computed tomography procedure based on the stitched or combined projection images that are generated at the plurality of location.
