Abstract
In an imaging method, mark positions are defined for one or more detector heads () at one or more marked angular orientations (θ, θ). The mark positions for at least one marked angular orientation (θ) include a tangential offset of at least one detector head. Imaging data are acquired using the one or more detector heads following a conformal trajectory passing through the defined mark positions. The acquired imaging data are reconstructed into a reconstructed image.
