ABSTRACT:
Tomographic imaging system employs radiation detector rotated around radiation emitting patient. Body contour following action causes detector to approximate patient surface during rotation, thereby reducing detector/patient distance to improve image resolution. Another embodiment applies the same body contour following action to a system employing rotating patient support and fixed detector. Includes control of detector orientation relative to axis of rotation.
