Abstract
The present invention, in one form, is a system for correcting thermal drift in an imaging system. More specifically, a correction algorithm determines an adjusted focal spot position based upon a first temperature focal spot position and a second temperature focal spot position. The adjusted focal spot position is utilized in the reconstruction process to correct for focal spot movement resulting from thermal drift.
