The present invention is, in one embodiment, a method for multi-slice, computed tomography imaging. The method includes steps of moving an x-ray source through a trajectory; projecting an x-ray cone beam from the moving x-ray source through an object towards a curved detector; and determining contributions of segments along the trajectory to voxels in a reconstruction volume of the object, including compensating the determined contributions for curvature of the detector and x-ray cone beam geometry.
