Abstract
Embodiments of systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for imaging are presented. Preliminary image data corresponding to a first FOV of a subject at a first resolution is acquired using an imaging system including one or more radiation sources and at least one hybrid detector, specifically using at least one section of the hybrid detector having the first resolution. The target ROI is identified using the preliminary image data. Further, the subject is positioned to align the target ROI along a designated axis. Additionally, parameters associated with the sources, the hybrid detector and/or an imaging system gantry are configured for acquiring target image data at a second resolution greater than the first resolution using at least one section of the hybrid detector having the second resolution. Further, one or more images corresponding to at least the target ROI are reconstructed using the target and/or the preliminary image data.
