Abstract
A CT system includes a rotatable gantry having an opening for receiving an object to be scanned, and a controller. The controller is configured to apply a first kVp for a first time period, apply a second kVp for a second time period, integrate two or more view datasets during the first time period, integrate one or more view datasets during the second time period, and generate an image using the datasets integrated during the first time period and during the second time period.
