ABSTRACT:
A source applies imaging energy that passes through an object being imaged and is then detected by a detector connected to a processor. A scanning trajectory includes first and second scan paths. The first scan path has a shadow zone where a complete image cannot be obtained from corresponding first scan path data. The second scan path provides data from the shadow zone. Partial images from the first scan path and the second scan path are Fourier transformed after which some data is removed prior to adding the Fourier data together. An inverse Fourier transform is then used to provide an overall image.
