Abstract
Cone-beam computer tomography systems, devices, and methods for image acquisition of large target volumes using partial scans.
Claims28
1-27. (canceled)
A cone-beam computer tomography imaging method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of sets of projection images of a target volume using an X-ray source, each of the plurality of sets of projection images being associated with a plurality of locations of the X-ray source along a respective one of a plurality of scanning arc segments, and a respective one of a plurality of locations of the treatment couch along one or more planes that are orthogonal to the rotation axis of the X-rays source;
- and
- generating a three-dimensional image of the volume based on the plurality of sets of projection images.
29-30. (canceled)

44-83. (canceled)
A cone-beam computer tomography imaging method comprising:
- acquiring a plurality of projection images of a volume using an imaging device, the imaging device including and X-rays source and an imager, each of the plurality of projection images acquired while the X-rays source is located at a respective one of a plurality of locations of the X-ray source, and a treatment couch is located at a respective one of a plurality of locations of the treatment couch along a first and a second axis, the first axis being orthogonal to the second axis;
- and
- generating a three-dimensional image of the volume based on the plurality of projection images.
