First Claim
1. A method for reconstructing a three-dimensional image of an object from cone beam projection data, the method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring the cone beam projection data, the cone beam projection data comprising a plurality of cone beam projection images;
determining a three-dimensional reconstruction region using a region of interest identified in at least one of the plurality of cone beam projection images, the three-dimensional reconstruction region being defined by a plurality of points; and
reconstructing the image at each of the plurality of points to form the three-dimensional image of the region of interest.

Abstract
A method and system for reconstructing a three-dimensional image of an object from cone beam projection data. The method comprising the steps of: acquiring the projection data, wherein the projection data comprises a set of cone beam projection images; selecting at least one cone beam projection image; identifying a region of interest within each selected cone beam projection image; defining a three-dimensional lattice of points, wherein the projection into each selected cone beam projection image of the points in the three-dimensional lattice provides a sampling of the identified region of interest in the corresponding selected cone beam projection image; and, reconstructing an image of the object at each point in the three-dimensional lattice to form a three-dimensional image of the object.
