In this paper we report cone-beam CT techniques that permit reconstruction from width-truncated projections. These techniques are variants of Feldkamp's filtered backprojection algorithm and assume quasi-redundancy of ray integrals. Two methods are derived and compared. The first method involves the use of preconvolution weighting of the truncated data. The second technique performs post-convolution weighting preceded by non-zero estimation of the missing information. The algorithms were tested using the three-dimensional Shepp-Logan head phantom. The results indicate that given an appropriate amount of overscan, satisfactory reconstruction can be achieved. These techniques can be used to solve the problem of undersized detectors.
