Abstract:
This disclosure generally relates to systems, methods, and devices for performing high-resolution computer tomography (CT) scans providing highly detailed images of particular regions using whole body clinical CT scanners while maintaining high imaging speeds and low dose levels. In particular, the disclosed systems use flat panel detectors in conjunction with common CT detectors to quickly produce high-resolution CT images.
