Abstract
According to an exemplary embodiment an imaging system (100) for examining an object under examination comprises a scanning unit, wherein the scanning unit comprises a radiation source (106, 108), and a detection unit (107, 109), wherein the scanning unit is adapted to emit a radiation beam (123), which radiation beam follows a linear movement of the object under examination such that a predetermined region of the object under examination is scanned while the object under examination moves.
Claims19
An imaging system (100) for examining an object under examination, the system (100) comprising:
- a scanning unit, the scanning unit comprising;
- a radiation source (106, 108);
- and
- a detection unit (107, 109);
- wherein the scanning unit is adapted to emit a radiation beam (123), wherein the radiation beam (123) follows a linear movement of the object under examination such that a predetermined region of the object under examination is scanned while the object under examination moves.
A method for acquiring image data of an object under examination using an imaging system (100) which comprises a scanning unit and a detection unit (107, 109), and wherein the scanning unit comprises a radiation source (106, 108), the method comprising:
- following a linear movement of the object under examination with the radiation of the radiation source (106, 108) such that a predetermined region of the object under examination is scanned while the object under examination moves linearly;
- and
- acquiring image data indicative of the object under examination while the radiation of the radiation source (106, 108) follows the linear movement of the object under examination.
