Abstract

The evolution to ever wider detector arrays that are able to cover whole organs with a single circular gantry sweep has revitalized the research efforts toward finding improved axial scanning algorithms and protocols. The authors propose a computed tomography scan and reconstruction concept using two sources, a single detector and a two-pass cone-beam correction method, as an integral part of the reconstruction. Compared with standard circular acquisition and reconstruction methods, the new concept excels with improved coverage and very low cone-beam artifact level also for short scan acquisitions, which makes it especially attractive for cardiac applications.
