Systems and methods for dynamic scanning with multi-head camera

A method comprising:

• acquiring imaging information with plural detector units mounted to a gantry defining a bore configured to accept an object to be imaged, each detector unit defining a corresponding view oriented toward a center of the bore and configured to acquire the imaging information over a sweep range corresponding to the corresponding view;
• dynamically determining, during a primary image acquisition configured to obtain information for reconstructing an image, at least one boundary of an acquisition range corresponding to an uptake value of the object to be imaged for at least one of the detector units, wherein the acquisition range is smaller than sweep range;
• and
• controlling the at least one detector unit to acquire imaging information over the acquisition range.

A tangible and non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more software modules configured to direct one or more processors to:

• acquire imaging information with plural detector units mounted to a gantry defining a bore configured to accept an object to be imaged, each detector unit defining a corresponding view oriented toward a center of the bore and configured to acquire the imaging information over a sweep range corresponding to the corresponding view;
• dynamically determine, during a primary image acquisition configured to obtain information for reconstructing an image, at least one boundary of an acquisition range corresponding to an uptake value of the object to be imaged for at least one of the detector units, wherein the acquisition range is smaller than sweep range;
• and
• control the at least one detector unit to acquire imaging information over the acquisition range.
