ABSTRACT:
A computerized tomography process (100) that provides, optionally, for preliminary scans (101), helically-oriented full scans (102), and/or improved resolution scans (103). In some instances, partial cross-sectional views are captured which views are then later joined to yield a complete view. In some instances a helical image-capture path is used. In yet other instances small lateral shifts to the position of the X-ray source are used to provide higher resolution views of the object being scanned.
