IMAGING METHOD AND SYSTEM

摘要

An imaging system, comprising: one or more imaging units comprising respective emitters for emitting imaging radiation and corresponding detectors for detecting the radiation after interaction of the radiation with a target portion of a specimen located in an image capture volume of the system; a mobile gantry for supporting the one or more imaging units, the one or more imaging units defining the image capture volume of the system and being moveable relative to the gantry; a drive controllable to move the gantry and to move the one or more imaging units relative to the gantry, such that the one or more imaging units are controllably moveable in at least two non-parallel directions in at least one plane; at least one tracking sensor supported by the gantry and configured to track the target portion of the specimen located in the image capture volume and to output location data indicative of a location of the target portion; and a controller configured to receive the location data from the tracking sensor and to control the drive based on the location data to move the gantry and the one or more imaging units relative to the gantry to track the target portion with the one or more imaging units, and related imaging method.
