Abstract

See full text

Two different collimation geometries are interleaved. Each collimation geometry samples a transaxial slice through the object being imaged. The even slices are of the same fan-beam geometry as the central head, but the odd slices are of different collimation geometry. Each slice covers an axial range that is the same as the pixel size of the solid-state detector, and aligns with the corresponding pixels in the axial direction.
