Abstract

A method for determining confidence values for volume units includes acquiring real projections of an object in a tomography system, reconstructing an image of the object from the real projections, generating artificial projections, for each volume unit comparing the real projections with the artificial projections and generating a confidence measure for each of the volume units.
