ABSTRACT:
A tangential computer tomography scanner for scanning an object having a cross-section. A radiation source emits a beam of penetrating energy. The beam penetrates an object located within the beam and is received by an array of detectors located opposite the source. A drive device moves the beam relative to said object. The array and the source are arranged so that the beam is maintained perpendicular to the cross-section of the object. The tangential computer tomography scanner generates a full volume data set in a single pass.
