ABSTRACT:
A method for performing an exact volume imaging with a C-arm digital x-ray imaging system by moving the source through two partial circular scans which form a complete source trajectory. The partial circular scans form a complete source trajectory when the plane defined by the C-arm is repositioned for the second scan at an angle equal to the cone angle with respect to the long axis of the patient.
