Abstract

For each respective first-phase rotational position of a set of first-phase rotational positions, an imaging system may generate a respective first-phase image. The imaging system may determine, based on an identified region of interest in the respective first-phase image, collimator blade positions for the respective first-phase rotational position. For each respective second-phase rotational position of a set of second-phase rotational positions, the imaging system may determine, based on the collimator blade positions for the first-phase rotational positions, collimator blade positions for the respective second-phase rotational position. The imaging system may generate a respective second-phase image in a second series of images while the test object is at the respective second-phase rotational position and while the collimator blades are at the collimator blade positions for the respective second-phase rotational position. The imaging system may compute, based on the second series of images, tomographic data for the portion of the test object.
