This invention describes a CT scanner that uses several X-ray sources and detectors, arranged in a circle around the patient. Instead of a single scan, these sources are positioned at different heights and angles, allowing them to take multiple, slightly offset circular scans simultaneously as they rotate. This creates a staggered pattern of data acquisition.
Why it matters: The classification G06T12/20, relating to transformations from projection space into object space, has seen substantial advancements since 2009. Modern computational power and sophisticated algorithms, including those leveraging AI, could now more effectively process and reconstruct high-quality images from the complex, staggered data acquired by this system.
