CONE BEAM LOCAL TOMOGRAPHY

Methods, systems and processes for providing efficient image reconstruction using local cone beam tomography which provide a reduced level of artifacts without suppressing the strength of the useful features; and in a dynamic case provide reconstruction of objects that are undergoing a change during the scan. An embodiment provides a method of reconstructing an image from cone beam data provided by at least one detector. The method includes collecting CB projection data of an object, storing the CB projection data in a memory; and reconstructing the image from the local CB projection data. In the reconstructing step, a combination of derivatives of the CB projection data that will result in suppressing the artifacts are found. The combination of derivatives includes collecting cone beam data that represents a collection of integrals that represent the object.
