The present invention provides a method for producing images of an object. The
method includes dynamically helically scanning an object on a moving table utilizing
a scanning imaging system. During the scan, projection views of the object are
acquired and stored together with corresponding table locations. A plane for reconstruction
of an image of the object is selected. The stored table locations are used to determine
geometric variables applicable to the stored projection views; and the stored projection
views are filtered and backprojected utilizing the geometrical variables to reconstruct
an image of the object at the reconstruction plane.
