Abstract

A system for generating a reconstruction of an object of interest comprises a shape model generator (1) for generating a shape model representing a shape of the object in dependence on a plurality of projections of the object, and a reconstructor (2) for reconstructing the object, based on the projections, in dependence on the shape model to obtain the reconstruction of the object. The reconstructor (2) comprises a soft-tissue reconstructor (4) for generating a reconstruction favoring soft tissue, based on the plurality of projections, and a sparse reconstructor (5) for generating a reconstruction of sparse objects, based on the plurality of projections. The reconstructor (2) comprises a clipping subsystem (3) for clipping an outside of the object from the reconstruction, based on the shape model, or the reconstructor (2) is arranged for reconstructing only an inside and/or boundary of the object as defined by the shape model.
