Abstract

A detector used for tomography imaging is mobile, allowing the detector to move about an object (e.g., patient to be imaged). A swarm of such detectors, such as a swarm of drones with detectors, may be used for tomography imaging. The trajectory or trajectories of the mobile detectors may account for the pose and/or movement of the object being imaged. The trajectory or trajectories may be based, in part, on the sampling for desired tomography. An image of an internal region of the object is reconstructed from detected signals of the mobile detectors using tomography.
