ABSTRACT:
A variable-resolution x-ray (VRX) scanner apparatus forms Computed Tomographic (CT) x-ray images of a subject. The detector array comprises a plurality of detector cells that detect the x-ray radiation at a spatial resolution that is dependent at least in part on cell-to-cell spacing in the array and the orientation of the array with respect to the X-axis and Z-axis. The detector array is operable to be tilted with respect to the Z-axis. The tilt angle of the array, which is preferably 45 degrees, defines an angular relationship between the Z-axis and a pivot axis of the array, where the pivot axis passes through the origin of the XYZ coordinate system. The detector array is operable to be pivoted about the pivot axis and positioned at a pivot angle with respect to the X-axis. The pivot angle defines an angular relationship between the detector array and the X-axis.
