An improved pharmaceutical dispensing system that allows direct transfer of doses from bulk blister packs into custom pharmaceutical packages in which medication doses are arranged by day of the week andor time of day. In one representative embodiment, potential defects in an image are identified based on edge sharpness, and measures of strength for the different potential defects are calculated. A graft layer is then adhered to the stent while it is mounted on the mandrel. Finally the method comprises performing reconstruction on the original or combined datasets to obtain one or more of an EI image and one or more ED component images.
