1. A method for producing an image of a subject positioned in the field of view (FOV) of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the steps comprising: a) acquiring with the MRI system a set of projection views of the subject positioned in the FOV; b) producing a composite image with the MRI system which indicates a value at each composite image pixel of the subject positioned in the FOV; and c) reconstructing an image of the subject by: c)i) backprojecting each projection view in the set into the FOV and weighting the value backprojected into each image pixel by the value of the corresponding pixel in the composite image; and c)ii) summing the backprojected values for each image pixel.
