A method and apparatus for the alignment of a fourth generation Computed Tomography (CT) system is provided. The method includes receiving X-ray scan data from the CT system, and processing the received X-ray scan data to automatically generate alignment correction information to align the CT system.

Method and apparatus for aligning a fourth generation computed tomography system

A method for reducing mis-registration during multiple energy scanning on computed tomographic (CT) imaging systems or multiple energy electron beam tomographic (EBT) systems includes scanning a portion of a patient including a cyclically moving body part using a multiple energy computed tomographic (CT) imaging system or multiple energy electron beam tomographic (EBT) system having at least two different energies, monitoring the cyclically moving body part, and gating the multiple energy CT imaging system or multiple energy EBT system in accordance with the monitored cyclically moving body part so that acquisitions are acquired at at least two different kVps. The data acquired at the different kVps are then utilized to generate material decomposition images of the cyclically moving body part.

Dual energy scanning protocols for motion mitigation and material differentiation

A method of adjusting a beam spot width includes scanning a phantom with an electron beam having a beam spot width to obtain data; and adjusting the beam spot width using the obtained data.
