Image quality is an important feature for CT scanning, in particular for
helical cone-beam CT scanning. By using projection data acquired at two
different positions of the focal spot of the radiation beam and rebinning
that projection data from a first geometry to a second geometry the two
sub-sets of projection data are combined to one rebinned projection data
set, thereby improving the radial resolution of the data set.
Advantageously, according to an aspect of the present invention, a
further rebinning may be performed, from the second geometry back to the
first geometry, therefore resulting in a projection data set in the
initial geometry with a higher radial resolution.
