ABSTRACT:
Complete CT data acquisition is provided by scanning path trajectories located on a sphere or approximately located on a sphere. The scanning path trajectories are at least bounded between two relatively close spheres. The various scanning paths include sinusoids, square waves, circles, and arcs.
