Abstract
A device and methods for performing a simulated CT biopsy on a region of interest on a patient. The device comprises a gantry () configured to mount an x-ray emitter () and CT detector () on opposing sides of the gantry, a motor () rotatably coupled to the gantry such that the gantry rotates horizontally about the region of interest, and a rotation of source high resolution x-ray detector () positioned adjacent the CT detector in between the CT detector and and detector the x-ray emitter.
