Abstract:
The present application discloses a computed tomography system having non-rotating X-ray sources that are programmed to optimize the source firing pattern. In one embodiment, the CT system is a fast cone-beam CT scanner which uses a fixed ring of multiple sources and fixed rings of detectors in an offset geometry. It should be appreciated that the source firing pattern is effectuated by a controller, which implements methods to determine a source firing pattern that are adapted to geometries where the X-ray sources and detector geometry are offset.

Abstract:
La presente solicitud divulga un sistema de tomografía computarizado que tiene fuentes de rayos X no giratorias que son programadas para optimizar el patrón de disparo de la fuente. En una modalidad, el sistema de CT es un escáner de CT de haz de cono rápido que utiliza un anillo fijo de múltiples fuentes y anillos fijos de detectores en una geometría desfasada. Se debe apreciar que el patrón de disparo de la fuente se efectúa por medio de un controlador, el cual implementa métodos para determinar un patrón de disparo de la fuente que se adapta a las geometrías donde la geometría de las fuentes de rayos X y el detector están desfasadas.
