ABSTRACT:
The present invention, in one form, is a system which, in one embodiment, improves the signal to noise of a scout image by aligning projection data in a z-axis. More specifically, by altering a table speed, a data acquisition system sampling rate, and a delay factor, the projection data collected from a detector array is aligned in the z-axis so that an improved scout image is generated. Particularly, and in one embodiment, the delay factor is adjusted so that the misalignment of the projection data collected from the detector is minimized.
