ABSTRACT:
A method of and apparatus for facilitating enhanced computed tomography (“CT”) scanning is provided including a scanned object (130) disposed on a translating table (120) capable of rotating the object (130) and moving the through the CT system (100). Certain values regarding the scanning system geometry and a target metric are provided (510and520). Given these values and the target metric, the system determines (530) a scanning procedure as a predetermined function of the target metric and the scanning system geometry dependant values. Further, the system may resample (720) the scanning data into an output array according to a predetermined sampling algorithm.
