Abstract
Imaging systems and methods are provided for scanning a patient's head using a portable CT scanner. An imaging assembly can comprise a portable scan board on which a patient is positioned, and a corresponding portable CT scanner positioned and locked onto the portable scan board. The portable CT scanner and the portable scan board can form a portable CT scanning assembly capable of rotating an X-ray source and corresponding X-ray detector around the patient's head to transmit X-rays through the patient's head at one or more angles, while translating across the portable scan board to scan one or more portions of the patient's head. A composite image reconstructed based on the rotational and translational scanning is generated representing one or more interior aspects of the patient's head.
