Abstract
A method for rapidly processing multi-slice helical fan beam CT imaging data to generate tomographic images, the method including processing the fan beam helical data to generate parallel constant-Z projections proximate an image plane, filtering the parallel constant-Z projections and mathematically combining the filtered parallel constant-Z projections as a function of the spatial relationship between the imaging plane and the constant-Z projections to generate at least one image.
