    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to improve CT image acquisition using a displaced acquisition geometry. A CT apparatus may be used having a source (102) and a detector (104) transversely displaced from a center (114) of a field of view (118) during acquisition of the projection data. The amount of transverse displacement may be determined based on the size of the object (108). The source and the detector may be adjusted to vary the size of the transverse field of view. The first data set acquired by the detector may be reconstructed and used to simulate missing projection data that could not be acquired by the detector at each projection angle. The measured projection data and the simulated projection data may be used to obtain a second data set. The second data set may be compared to the first data set to produce a corrected data set.

    Abstract: An imaging system includes a radiation source (110) that emits radiation that traverses an examination region. A controller (116) activates the radiation source (110) to emit radiation and deactivates the radiation source (110) to stop radiation emission. The controller (116) selectively activates the radiation source (110) to emit radiation at one or more pre-determined angles. In another embodiment, the imaging system includes a data processing component (124) that generates a virtual three dimensional image of an object of interest of the scanned subject based on the image data. In another embodiment, the imaging system is in a communication with a data manipulation and packaging component (128) that generates at least a two dimensional or a three dimensional data set based on the volumetric image data and packages the data set in an object provided to a remote system (132) that manipulates and navigates through the data set.

    Abstract: An imaging device (100,200) for imaging a volume of interest (5,45) of a subject (4,44) comprises a radiation source (1) for emitting radiation (6), which is arranged for rotational movement around an axis (8) of the subject (4,44), a collimator (3) for collimating the radiation (6) at least in the axial direction of the subject (4,44) before traversing through the subject (4,44), a detector (2) for receiving the collimated radiation (11,12,13,14,15,16) that has traversed through the subject (4,44), and a control unit (7) for controlling the collimator (3) based on at least one geometry parameter that defines a geometrical relationship between the volume of interest (5,45) and the imaging device (100,200). The imaging device (100,200) provides for a reduced dose of radiation applied to the subject (4,44).

    Abstract: Whereas the CT image can be acquired in a single revolution, the CSCT image acquisition may require several revolutions. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a CT/CSCT apparatus may be provided which uses CT data acquired during the first revolution to optimize acquisition parameters for the subsequent revolutions. Furthermore, projection data acquired with a pre-scanner may also be used for determining current modulation or setting an optimum voltage for the subsequent CSCT scan.
