Abstract

A method for reconstructing an image of a scanned object comprises the steps of collecting object data by scanning the object with a laser beam and detecting the light passing through the object; collecting perimeter data of the object during the scanning step; transforming the object data to parallel ray geometry; correcting the projection data using the perimeter data; and backprojecting the data in image space.
