Abstract
A mechanism for controlling the operation of a CT scanner during a scanning procedure. A radiation outputting system is configured to output radiation during an imaging phase of the scanning procedure. The subject support (patient table) of the CT scanner is controlled to move linearly, e.g. according to some predetermined linear pattern, during this imaging phase. The linear movement of the subject support includes at least one acceleration and/or deceleration phase. At least a beam width of radiation output by the CT scanner is controlled throughout the imaging phase responsive to the speed of the subject support.
