ABSTRACT:
A computerized tomography system wherein the X-ray source rotates about the subject and moves axially relative to the subject to provide a helical scan. A detector array includes a plurality of rows of detector elements extending axially and each element being of the same size to enable the acquisition of multiple planar data per rotation. The acquired data is reformatted into planar data by interpolating as a function of both the axial subject position and the axial detector element position.
