METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING ARTIFACTS IN AN IMAGE

A method for reducing imaging artifacts in at least one image representative of an object with a scanning imaging system is provided. The imaging system has a multislice detector array and a radiation source configured to emit a radiation beam through the object and towards the multislice detector array. The multislice detector array has a plurality of detector elements arranged in a plurality of detector rows. The method includes scanning the object with the scanning imaging system to acquire a plurality of projection data acquired from a plurality of detector rows including two end rows and a plurality of interior detector rows. The method also includes defining a first plane of reconstruction (POR) for a particular detector row, and defining a second plane of reconstruction (POR) for the particular detector row.
