Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and a method for acquiring image data of a subject with an imaging system is provided. The system can include a gantry that completely annularly encompasses at least a portion of the subject, which can be positioned along at an isocenter of the imaging system. The system can include a source and a detector positioned within and movable relative to the gantry on a rotor. The system can include a move control module that sets move data for each of the source, detector and rotor that causes the source, detector and rotor to move in a desired motion profile to acquire image data of a portion of the subject off the isocenter of the imaging system.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for acquiring image data of a subject with an imaging system, comprising: a gantry configured to encompass at least a portion of the subject, the subject positioned along an isocenter of the imaging system; a rotor positioned within the gantry and rotatable within the gantry around the isocenter of the imaging system; an imager source positioned within and movable relative to the gantry by being moveably coupled to the rotor, the imager source r…
