Abstract
A tomographic apparatus includes a radiation source () having a plurality of focal spots (F, F, F, F) and a detector () which generates output signals indicative of radiation received along a plurality of rays. A height rebinner () performs a height rebinning of the acquired rays to generate height interpolated readings. A transverse rebinner () performs a two-dimensional transverse interpolation of the height interpolated rays in a canonical space to generate a plurality of transversely interpolated readings (). The transversely interpolated readings () are reconstructed to generate a human readable image.
