Abstract
A computer tomography apparatus for imaging an object includes a computer coupled to a data acquisition system, a carrier that traverses the object through an imaging volume, and a radiation source. In one embodiment, the computer is configured to update scan parameters based upon data received from a first subset of a detector surface. In a second embodiment, the computer is configured to reverse carrier direction and repeat the traversing of the object through the imaging volume with updated scan parameters based upon data received from the first traversing of the object through the imaging volume.
