Abstract: A method is disclosed for generating images of a human or animal body on the basis of 3D-reconstructions from 3D-XRAY or 3D-Computer Tomography measurements, which bodies comprise both natural tissue and one or more high-density objects. The method comprises the steps of executing the measurements, distinguishing the one or more high-density objects and executing a separating procedure thereon for generating an improved image of regions of the natural tissue. In particular, the method comprises the following steps: applying a ramp filter on the various projection measurements to single out the one or more high-density objects; segmenting the singled-out one or more high-density objects into a separate 3D reconstruction; suppressing the reconstructed one or more high-density objects from the original projection measurements; and segmenting said projection measurements without the suppressed one or more high-density objects.
